As a Londoner with Irish Gaelic heritage, I've long wanted to visit the village of Eilean Iarmain, and as expected it's a picturesque, though unobtrusive place. The restored Victorian whitewashed Hotel Eilean Iarmain and its adjoining pub, Am Pràban, which also forms part of the late Noble's holdings, dominate. If you arrive in daylight, you'll be drawn to the water's edge to look out across the Sound of Sleat towards the hills of Knoydart. It's like a Hollywood depiction of Scotland.
