Lochaline, Loch Aline
Lochaline, a charming
village nestled on the northern shore of the Sound of Mull in the Morvern area of Highland, Scotland, offers a
tranquil escape. Surrounded by rugged beauty, Lochaline sits at the

residents relocated from St Kilda in the 1930s, adding to its cultural richness. History buffs can explore the historic Kiel Church with medieval
carved gravestones or visit the ruins of Ardtornish Castle overlooking
the Sound
of Mull. Divers flock to the Sound of Mull to explore shipwreck
sites. For a unique shopping experience, explore the Wee Wine Shop for unusual
