Contents
Moidart lies to the west of Fort William and is very remote. Loch Shiel cuts off the south-east boundary of the district. Moidart includes the townships of Dorlin, Mingarry, Kinlochmoidart and Glenuig. At Dorlin sits Castle Tioram, a former fortress of Clann Ruaidhrí and the Clanranald branch of Clan Donald. During World War II, HMS Dorlin was based at Dorlin and was used for training of Royal Navy Beach Signals and Royal Signals sections.
Moidart was the historical homeland of the chiefs of Clanranald and the Macdonalds of Kinlochmoidart, who played an important role in the 1745 Jacobite Rising. Fergie MacDonald was raised in the area.
In 1963 a new road was approved.
