Polbain travel tips


Old Dornie Harbour 
Actually this is outside of Polbain but it seems nearer to there than to Reiff or Altandhu. Whichever it should be it is NOT the Dornie on Globo's index, which is near Kyle of Lochalsh. It's on a cul-de-sac off an unclassified road from Achiltibuie to Altandhu in Coigach, Scotland. The harbour is situated oposite to Isle Ristol and is used mainly by local prawn catchers, although it is being discovered by some pleasure craft. Well worth seeing. more

Summer Isles Cruises 
The tour lasts for 3½ hours, which includes an hour on Tanera Mor. The normal boatman was away when we were there and we went in the 'Patricia' with the owner of the largest island, Tanera Mor. Obviously the number and variety of seabirds depends on the season but in September we saw both grey and common seals. The cliff scenery of Tanera Beag matches any I have seen anywhere. If you use the phone number given don't be surprised when you get Achiltibuie Post Office. The boatman uses this as his office number and you will be able to book or get information. more

Bothan Na' Tilleadh 
This single storey building has a double or twin room and there is a sofa bed in the sitting room. A cot can be provided. It is well equipped for self catering. Its situation gives it two major advantages. The first is its situation opposite to Tanera Mor, the largest of the delightful Summmer Isles. The second - very easy proximity to a store - may sound trivial but stores are scarce in this region and it's good just to be able to walk. The only snag is that you do need a car and to be sufficiently fit to carry all your stuff down about 15 steps outside - but if you can it's well worth the effort. more
