Best seafood! Unique and very international atmosphere!
Not a restaurant – virtually as it says, a hut or shack, busy preparation goes on in front of your eyes inside the open 'hut', eating at tables and stalls outside, overlooking the ferry landing stages. Freshest seafood you can have at most agreeable prices.

The highest UK mountain.
Hike up, often with hundreds of others on the day, and tick that iconic 'Munro' of your 'Must-do-when-in-the-Highlands' list. Beware and be well prepared – The weather can change rapidly during your climb and the snow falling in summer is not that unusual!

An Iconic West Highlands Coast port-town. Busy ferry terminal serving number of destinations. Very lively and sometimes quite crowded due to its popularity. If you like seafood then a visit to Green Hut right by the ferry terminal is a must!
