Walking
Scotland is one of the best walking countries in the world and this part of it is an excellent walking area. You're not afraid off a demanding walk or a day walk there are a few Munros in the area.
If you are more in for a gentle village stroll... no problem neither. There are a lot of nice walks around the village. From the cottage you can go on a gentle walk to Iron Age brochs, on the beach to spot some seals and otters or across the fields to the ruins of barracks.
Hill walking to Ardintoul, Arnisdale, Sandaig (known from 'Ring of Bright Water' - the famous book by Gavin Maxwell) and many more. Ordnance Survey maps of the area are available in the cottage.

Cycling
In the Glenelg Bike Shed you can rent bicycles (100 meter from the cottage), in and around the village it is quite flat but you have some though hills as well, to find out try The Ratagan Pass.
If you have a mountain bike, you will need more than one week to discover the many, sometimes unused mountain and forestry tracks around Glenelg, Skye and Lochals.

Fishing
Fishing can be done from the pier in front of the house. For trout fishing on the River Glenmore, you can buy a permit at the village shop.
