 | Ardnamurchan (Scottish Gaelic: Ard na Murchan) is a 50 square mile peninsula in north west Scotland, noted for being very unspoilt and undisturbed. |
 | Strictly speaking Ardnamurchan covers only the peninsula beyond the villages of Salen (in the south) and Acharacle (in the north), but nowadays the term is used much more generally to include the neighbouring districts of Sunart, Ardgour, Morvern, and even Moidart (which was not part of Argyll). |
 | Ardnamurchan Point, which has a 36 metre tall lighthouse built on it, is commonly described as the most westerly point in the British mainland although Corrachadh Mor (a kilometre to the south) is a few metres further west. |
