Cnoc Cailean is Gaelic for Colin's Hill, legend has it that Colin - a local gentleman who lived close by - used to climb the hill to sit on the rock and admire the views out to sea. In the wonderful elevated situation overlooking Ardmair Bay, Isle Martin and the distant Summer Isles, he must have truly enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the West Highlands.
Cnoc Cailean is approached along a private road, just off the coast road, 3 miles north of Ullapool. The house stands in a large open area with furnished patio and barbecue just 200 yards from the shingle beach of Ardmair.
