Drimnin is located on the mainland with Morven. Morven is the southern most of the West Highland Peninsulas.and is accessible via the Corran Ferry and the scenic route through the Ardtornish Estate area. Ferry connections in the wider region include services between Lochaline and the Isle of Mull, with additional routes serving Oban.

Morvern is approximately 200 square miles, its varied habitats include ancient woodlands, rolling hills, rivers and sea lochs as well as 20 miles of coastline. The Morvern Peninsula is separated from the Isle of Mull by a narrow strip of water called the Sound of Mull. It is one of the few places in the UK that has hardly been touched by modern life. It is sparsely populated, and because of a lack of human intervention, it boasts a great diversity of animals, birds and flowers.

Described by many as 'the best kept secret in Scotland', Morvern is a must for nature lovers seeking solitude and rare species of wildlife. In winter there is a wide range of wildlife from Sea Eagles and Golden Eagles to Pine Martins and Peregrines. It's also home to one of the UK's most elusive creatures - the Otter.

The main settlement in Morvern is Lochaline, where you will find a village store and post office, cafe and restaurant and fuel. Lochaline also serves as a ferry terminal to Fishnish on the Isle of Mull.

Morvern is a great place to immerse yourself in the beauty of this wild, remote landscape. It is a place to enjoy some wildlife and lovely walks on the mainland, as well as being within easy reach of the Isle of Mull.

An opportunity not to miss, With its generous site area, full planning permission and spectacular coastal surroundings, Plot 1 presents an appealing opportunity to create a home tailored to your lifestyle.
