The arches are cut into the cliffs on the south coast of the Ross of Mull and are best seen from below. The walk from Carsaig starts on a track and finishes over rough shore ground, so allow time and check the tide before you go. The single-track road in is steep, so take it slowly.

Good to know

  • Check tide times before you set out
  • Wear boots, the last stretch is rough
  • Single-track road, use the passing places
