Mallaig
Mallaig is a port in Lochaber, on the west coastline of the Highlands of Scotland. The regional railway station, Mallaig, is the terminus of the West Highland train line (Ft William and Mallaig branch) as well as the town is connected to Ft William by the A830 road-- the "Road to the Isles". The village of Mallaig was founded in the 1840s, when Lord Lovat, proprietor of North Morar Estate, separated up the farm of Mallaigvaig into seventeen parcels and also urged his tenants to move to the western part of the peninsula and resort to fishing as a way of life. The population as well as neighborhood economic situation expanded rapidly in the 20th century with the arrival of the railway. Ferryboats operated by Caledonian MacBrayne as well as Western Isles Cruises cruise from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, Inverie in Knoydart, as well as the islands of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, as well as Canna. Mallaig is the primary industrial fishing port on the West Coastline of Scotland, and during the 1960s was the busiest herring port in Europe. Mallaig prided itself back then on its popular traditionally smoked kippers, the fishmonger Andy Race still offering authentic oak smoked kippers from the factory store on the harbour. Mallaig and the surrounding area is a prominent area for holidays. The majority of the area speaks English, with a minority of homeowners talking both English as well as Gaelic. Furthermore, conventional Gaelic is still instructed in Mallaig Primary School to students who select to discover the language.
