Kingairloch is reached only by single track roads and largely stands on the north shore of Loch a' Choire, an offshoot of the west side of Loch Linnhe.

 105 years ago today. The troopship HMS Otranto sank off Islay with the loss of 431 lives on 6 October 1918. Her loss, and that of S.S. Tuscania on 5 February 1918 with 260 deaths, is marked by the poignant American Monument on Islay. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/americanmonument/index.html

 With origins that date back to the mid-1100s and looking like a French château transplanted into Falkirk, the stunning Callendar House was built close to the line of the Roman Antonine Wall and is now an impressive museum.
