Everything about Ardgour totally explained
Ardgour (meaning
Height of the goats) is a village on the western shore of
Loch Linnhe, on the
Ardnamurchan peninisula,
Lochaber,
Highland,
Scotland.
The village of Ardgour comprises the three distinct settlements of
North Corran,
Clovullin and
Sallachan.
The term Ardgour, together with Kingairloch, is applied to a large area of countryside around the village, from the
Glensanda Superquarry,
Kingairloch and
Kilmalieu in the south and west (bordering
Morvern and
Sunart districts), up to
Conaglen,
Treslaig,
Camasnagaul,
Achaphubuil and
Blaich in the north (bordering
Glenfinnan).
The area and the village are served by the
A861 road. The easiest access from the south is via a short ferry crossing from
Corran; the alternative is a 40 mile trip around Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil. The ferries run every half hour until about 9 pm and cost £6.20 for a single ticket.
Ardgour has formed part of the territory of the
Clan MacLean ever since the MacMasters were removed from the territory in the 15th Century. The current
Laird of Ardgour, Robin Maclean, is a MacLean by adoption. He is the nephew of the last hereditary Maclean of Ardgour - a Lady Laird - having changed his name by legal action.
