"We had a brilliant day going the length of Loch Shiel aboard Loch Shiel Cruises, travelling from Glenfinnan to Acharacle and back. The scenery is stunning, the eagles were on form and the crew were very knowledgable and great guides! I'd recommend the full loch cruise to anyone visiting the area!"
