Scope and Content Arisaig, Highland, from the south Arisaig is a small village on a low green promontory at the head of Loch nan Ceall, a sea-loch on the west coast of the Lochaber peninsula. The Victorian photographer, Erskine Beveridge, photographed the village in 1883. The village, a one-sided street of traditional 19th-century white-painted houses and cottages which cluster round the shores of the loch, is dominated by the very tall, buttressed shape of St Mary's Roman Catholic Church (left) which rises from the steep hillside to the east. Arisaig lies on the famous 'road to the isles', the single-track road that runs from Fort William to the fishing port of Mallaig through some of the most beautiful West Highland scenery. At Arisaig, the road touches the open sea, and the traveller gets his first view of the islands of Rum, Eigg and Muck, and the Cuillins of Skye. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
