Glenelg An unmissable detour is the side road which runs to Glenelg. The view from Bealach Ratagan (339m) over Loch Duich and the Five Sisters is spectacular. There are also fine views across to Skye further along the road.

The Bernera Barracks at Glenelg were built in 1723 after the 1715 Jacobite uprising, but were abandoned by the 1790s. A small ferry runs from here across fast flowing Kyle Rhea to Skye.
