Traigh

Traigh is a small settlement located on the west coast of Scotland, within the Highland region. It lies on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, a sparsely populated area known for its dramatic coastal scenery and rugged landscapes. The name "Traigh" is of Gaelic origin, meaning "beach" or "strand," which is fitting given its proximity to the sea.

The settlement itself consists of a few scattered houses and farms. Historically, life in Traigh has been closely tied to the sea and the land. Fishing and crofting have been traditional occupations, reflecting the area's natural resources. The surrounding environment offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, wildlife watching, and exploring the coastline.

Traigh is characterized by its remote and tranquil atmosphere. The nearest major village is Kilchoan, which provides essential services. The Ardnamurchan peninsula is a popular destination for tourists seeking unspoiled nature and a sense of isolation. The landscape around Traigh is marked by heathland, cliffs, and sandy coves. The climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, often resulting in changeable weather patterns. The area's natural beauty and relatively untouched character are its most significant features.
