A Photo Gallery of hillwalking in the Rough Bounds of Knoydart Knoydart is a
peninsula in Lochaber district on the west coast of Scotland sandwiched between Loch Nevis and
Loch Hourn - ( "Loch
Heaven" and "Loch
Hell" ). The
northern part is known as "na
Garbh-Chrìochan" ( "the Rough Bounds" )
because of its harsh terrain and remoteness.

last wilderness" - it is only
accessible by boat or by a 16 mile ( 26 km ) footpath from
Kinlochhourn. Designated
as a National Scenic Area, Knoydart is popular with hill walkers,
mountaineers, sailors and wildlife enthusiasts. It includes the Munros
of Ladhar Bheinn ( 1020 m )
and Sgurr na Cìche ( 1040 m ).
