Welcome to the website of Achnacraig, Duror of Appin
Achnacraig is a contempory,
architect designed house set in its own secluded grounds
on the edge of the small village of Duror. It is
available for weekly lets for up to 6 people.
Quiet and secluded, it is an excellent location for
tourists, walkers and cyclists to explore the great
outdoors of Lochaber. The area offers fabulous scenery,
geology and history, empty glens, forests and lochs.
There is a variety of wildlife residing in the vicinity
of the house with sightings of otter, deer, foxes and
red squirrels. There is also an abundant bird population
with raptors, owls and woodpeckers frequently spotted.
Duror is a lovely spot for a holiday and exploring the
beauties of the surrounding area. Nearby Cuil Bay has a
sandy beach and is an SSSI, with interesting rock
formations and a Stonehenge type monolith nearby. Duror
lies on the Argyll Coastal Route between Oban (30 miles)
and Fort William (18m, all facilities).
There are excellent walks to be had in the immediate
vicinity, though serious walkers, climbers and skiers in
season will no doubt be heading for nearby Glencoe.
With its own woodland, river front and ponds (care with
children!) set in over 4 acres of ground Achnacraig, it
is an ideal holiday location in itself. Situated
adjacent to the birth place of James of the Glen, the
area is steeped in history.
