Both Arisiag and nearby Mallaig have fascinating local museums. The Land, Sea and Islands Centre in Arisaig offers insights into the local history, including information and displays about the activities of the Special Operations Executive in World War 2, which used this area as a training ground and requisitioned a number of larger properties in the area, including Arisaig House, which became a Commando finishing school. The Heritage Centre in Mallaig tells the story of West Lochaber and the “Rough Bounds”, as the area is known, and how Mallaig became Europe’s premier herring fishing port. Pay a visit to the magnificent Glenfinnan Viaduct and experience a journey through time as you ride the iconic steam train, traversing the structure made famous in the Harry Potter films. Whilst there you can visit the Glenfinnan Monument, managed by the National Trust for Scotland, and discover history brought to life as you uncover tales of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. A 45 minute drive takes you to the 13th Century Castle Tioram, dramatically sited on its own tidal island and offering a glimpse of Scotland's storied past. From here you could go on to explore the remote Ardnamurchan peninsular and the U.K.’s most westerly lighthouse. Whisky connoisseurs mustn't miss an excursion to the Ardnamurchan Distillery, where you can indulge in the magic of the distillation process and sample the unique character of their single malts.
