Mallaig

Mallaig is a port in Lochaber, on the west shore of the Highlands of Scotland. The neighborhood train station, Mallaig, is the terminus of the West Highland railway line (Ft William and Mallaig branch) and the community is connected to Fort William by the A830 road-- the "Road to the Isles". The village of Mallaig was founded in the 1840s, when Lord Lovat, owner of North Morar Estate, divided up the farm of Mallaigvaig into seventeen parcels of land and motivated his renters to transfer to the western part of the peninsula and also rely on fishing as a way of life. The population as well as local economic situation increased quickly in the 20th century with the arrival of the train. Ferries operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and also Western Isles Cruises cruise from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, Inverie in Knoydart, as well as the isles of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, and also Canna. Mallaig is the main industrial angling port on the West Shore of Scotland, as well as during the 1960s was the busiest herring port in Europe. Mallaig prided itself back then on its famous typically smoked kippers, the fishmonger Andy Race still supplying genuine oak smoked kippers from the factory store on the harbour. Mallaig and also the bordering location is a popular area for holidays. The majority of the area speaks English, with a minority of residents talking both English as well as Gaelic. On top of that, standard Gaelic is still shown in Mallaig Primary School to students that choose to find out the language.
