Situated in a mountainous and largely undisturbed wilderness, Barisdale provides an excellent base for climbing munros in the area as well as having an abundance of wildlife and precious examples of rare flora and fauna for vigilant visitors to see.Barisdale lies along the south shores of Loch Hourn on the Knoydart peninsula, with spectacular views of Beinn Sgritheall (974 m) towering above Arnisdale to the north, the majestic Ladhar Bheinn (1020 m) to the west and out towards Skye, as well as Luinne Bheinn (939 m), with Meall Buidhe (946 m) tucked in behind, standing proudly to the south.

Accommodation is at the Whitehouse, a privately-owned self-catering cottage (max 12), or at the more basic bothy and campsite 700m away. The Whitehouse has been booked by the Club, but the bothy (also max 12) cannot be pre-booked, and operates on a first come first served basis. If you cannot get into the Whitehouse, it may therefore be prudent to pack a tent in case the bothy is also full!

The Arnisdale ferry has provisionally been booked for an 8.00 pm pickup. The ferry drops off at the Barisdale boathouse (NG 875 073 OS map 33), approx 1 mile from the cottage, bothy and campsite. Please contact Dave Galloway to let him know if you will be able to make the ferry.

Alternatively, you can walk in from Kinloch-Hourn (7 miles approx) or from Inverie (10 miles approx).

All bookings to Dave Galloway
