Shaped by Thousands of Years
When you drive along the wild and lonely road from Kilchoan to Sanna on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, you find yourself passing through a low-lying, almost moon-like terrain that is fringed on all sides by lumpy black hills.
There are no trees or landmarks to break up the flatness, and even the burn which cuts a shallow groove through the landscape seems to be unsure about its sense of direction.
You are, in fact, travelling through the magma chamber of an extinct volcano – or what remains of it.

Getting there
To get to the wildlife hide from the cottage, follow the B8007 west towards Kilchoan. A short distance after Kilchoan, look out for the signpost to Sanna, which takes you on an even more minor road (if that’s possible!) The last stretch of the road before Sanna, around Achnaha, runs through the middle of the volcano.. The volcano is located in the area of Achnaha. This journey from the Cottage should take around 50 Minutes. PH36 4LW is the nearest postcode.
