Knoydart — Inverie
Remote west-coast shelter and wet ground make Inverie a place to take dusk forecasts seriously. Season: June–August.
Low risk right now. A pleasant time to be out and about.
Inverie is accessible only by ferry or a long hike — which means visitors tend to stay a while. The village sits in a sheltered bowl on the coast with wet woodland, burns and boggy ground all around it.
The pubs and bothies are cosy, but the walk back to a tent in still dusk air is when the midges remind you where you are.
“The sector reports excellent feeding conditions at dusk. Morale among the squadrons is regrettably high.”
