location in the Parish of Assynt on the shores of Loch a Chairn

Kerrachar is one of the few permanently inhabited homes in the UK

30 minute boat
trip
on the 25 ton M.V. Statesman from
Kylesku,
which
will bring you to Kerrachar Gardens and provide a wonderful
opportunity to take in some breathtaking views along the way. Who
knows, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the seals,
eagles and otters which inhabit the loch!...'
