“Let’s walk to the pub”, he said.
“Fine, I’ll bring my dog”, I replied.
Well it’s 16 miles’ walk from the nearest road, add another four if they’re digging up the last stretch to re-tarmac it (and add another 52 miles if you get a taxi from Fort William). And bring a tent just in case the bothy half way there is full of thirsty people just like us.
Well, the busy & convivial pub is an unremarkable building – single storey white-painted stone – but in a remarkable setting in the peaceful village of Inverie (population 120), bothered three times a day by the old passenger ferry from Mallaig.
Most of the beer comes from the Knoydart Brewery, located just down the village’s only road, in the former St Agatha’s Chapel – turning water into beer for the last 23 years.
We took the ferry home.
