Mallaig to inverie scotland
Inverie (/ˌɪnvəˈriː/; Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Aoidh) is the main village on the peninsula of Knoydart in the Scottish Highlands and is concentrated on the north side of Loch Nevis. Although on the mainland of Britain, the few miles of single-track road are not connected to the rest of the national road network. Inverie is only reachable, aside from a 17-mile (27 km) hike over very rough terrain, by a regular 7-mile (11 km) ferry from Mallaig, giving the place a Guinness National Record for remoteness.
