Mallaig
Mallaig is a port in Lochaber, on the west coast of the Highlands of Scotland. The regional train station, Mallaig, is the terminus of the West Highland train line (Ft William and Mallaig branch) as well as the town is linked to Ft William by the A830 road-- the "Road to the Isles". The town of Mallaig was founded in the 1840s, when Lord Lovat, proprietor of North Morar Estate, divided up the farm of Mallaigvaig into seventeen tracts and motivated his lessees to move to the western part of the peninsula and also count on angling as a way of living. The population as well as local economic climate expanded rapidly in the 20th century with the arrival of the train. Ferryboats run by Caledonian MacBrayne and also Western Isles Cruises cruise from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, Inverie in Knoydart, as well as the islands of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, as well as Canna. Mallaig is the major business angling port on the West Coastline of Scotland, and throughout the 1960s was the busiest herring port in Europe. Mallaig prided itself at that time on its well-known generally smoked kippers, the fishmonger Andy Race still providing genuine oak smoked kippers from the manufacturing facility store on the harbour. Mallaig and the bordering area is a popular location for vacations. Most of the neighborhood speaks English, with a minority of residents speaking both English and Gaelic. Additionally, standard Gaelic is still shown in Mallaig Primary School to pupils that select to learn the language.
