River Shiel
The River Shiel drains the
freshwater Loch Shiel into the sea loch, Loch
Moidart on the north side of the Ardnamurchan
peninsula.
The north end of Loch Shiel is
close to Glenfinnan with its famous “Harry
Potter” viaduct and the Jacobite monument.
Acharacle village lies at the
south end of Loch Shiel, eighteen miles by boat
from the north.
The River Shiel flows for nearly
three miles through very attractive low ground
farming and crofting countryside draining this
huge catchment containing some of the wildest
and most mountainous of Scottish scenery, the
background to so much Scottish history.
The river has many named pools
from the Loch Point, through Blacksmiths, Pipers
and Burn Mouth to the Gullet into the House
Pool, past Grassy Point and Heathery to Cliff,
Garrison, Green Bank, Captains, Torr,
Columba’s and the Sea Pool which floods
and empties with every tide bringing fish over
the spectacular waterfall from Loch Moidart,
well known through its excellent beach beside
Castle Tioram.
