So who fancies an adventure? If you’re from the lowlands or the central belt, one of the easiest ways to get to this west coast location is to jump on a train at (Glasgow Queen Street Station) & experience the Highlands of Scotland in all its splendour.
Relax with a newspaper or a dram from the buffet cart and ponder on the wild-brownies of Knoydart.
“Knoydart” I hear you say, where the heck is that? It’s just a “wee” bit further on from the last stop on your train journey to the fishing port of Mallaig. A short boat journey down Loch Nevis (loch of heaven) leads you to the idyllic hamlet of Inverie. Here it boasts with the remotest Pub in mainland Britain but it also holds a better kept secret. 
Loch Bhroamisaig (Os 33. Grid: 779973): lying S-E of Inverie village at an altitude of 1,087ft above sea-level, this loch will entice most wild-brownie fishermen. At a length of 1.6miles in & fishable from 95% of the bank with a stock of fish that will keep your heart fluttering!
A 3 fish bag is in place for your £10 per day ticket but don’t be too hasty to “Tak the First 3”.
Trout of over 4lb are taken from here on occasion so it’s worth while to be patient & try and raise a “BigYin fae” the depths.
One thing I will say is you work for your fish on Bhroamisaig because it will take you 1hour 20 minutes walk to get there. When you do get there, the un-paralleled beauty of the area will keep you spellbound.
