The Silver Sands of Morar are a celebrated series of beautiful beaches along the coast from Arisaig to Morar.

The area has featured in several films such as Rob Roy, Highlander with Sean Connery and perhaps most notably in Bill Forsyth’s masterpiece ‘ Local Hero’ starring Burt Lancaster with Mark Knopfler’s memorable music score. A feature of the movie are the scenes filmed in the ‘gloaming’ – the unique golden light that occurs on late summer evenings. Offshore is the island of Rum with its volcanic peaks and Eigg where eagles fly overhead.
