About Appin
“Appin is a coastal rural village situated on the West of Scotland in Argyll. Its boundaries lie along the shore of Loch Creran and the ancient hill formations of Morven tower over Loch Linnhe, with the Isle of Lismore in view. The famous Castle Stalker, guarding the entrance to Loch Laich, was the one time home of the Stewarts of Appin. Steeped in history, Appin has a very vibrant past, stretching back to times immemorial.”
