Arisaig doesn't actually have any visitor moorings, all the moorings are permanent berths. When you visit you are given a berth of someone who they know won't be coming back that night. But still worth a phone call. Another option could be Skye Yachts at Armadale, they'll do you a deal and are right...

Oh I do!

I like Loch Mariveg, quite quick to get into and then lots of options where to anchor.

Were you rafted up in Rona on Thursday night to two other boats, if so I was the boat anchored behind the island.

The visitor moorings at Lochcarron, Broadford, Plockton and Arisaig all do weekly rates, but perhaps this is too far north?

The last two posts is the Caledonian Canal at it's best !

There's ten moorings in a horseshoe shape around the outside of the anchorage. They didn't have pick ups last year. Should they all be taken, there's still plenty of room to anchor, last time I was in, they were 20 other boats, 10 on moorings and 11 anchored.

Love it!

Yes, excellent shelter in Loch Scadabay. Depth is the problem. There is limited swinging room. At the deepest place to drop anchor I was swinging into depths of 1.4 metres. Was the swinging room limited due to depth or moorings? The pilot book says that the mud is soft and that a keel would sink in...

Limiting myself to places I visited in 2014 I offer; Loch Scadabay, Harris for the excitement of entering in SE5 Tanera More, Summer Isles for the perfect shelter from a prolonged gale Village Bay, St Kilda for the pleasure of arriving just before a perfect sun rise and leaving before the islands w...

Someone tried to charge me £5 for water this summer in Plockton. When I told him I'd changed my mind because of the charge, he said he was very disappointed with my attitude!

Oh so difficult, so I'm going for four

Thanks for the warning, it does look bad in the photos and a boat could quite easily just go directly from one mooring to the next. On Antares charts, it's quite obvious, but would you think of using these charts when going into Glenuig?

I once came across the VIC 32 in the Caledonian Canal in the Muirton basin, we were both going to be heading in the same direction, and I was advised by canal staff to keep well clear!
