St. Munn‘s Chapel (ruins)

The ruins of St. Munn's Chapel sit quietly on the banks of Loch Leven, just outside Ballachulish, and there's something rather moving about finding them. This is what remains of a medieval chapel dedicated to Saint Munnu - a few weathered stone walls, mostly overgrown now, but enough to suggest the faith that brought people here centuries ago. You're free to wander around at any time, which means you can visit early morning or at dusk when the light across the loch is particularly fine.

It's not a dramatic ruin like you'd find elsewhere in the Highlands - don't expect soaring arches or intact towers. What you get instead is a genuinely quiet spot where walkers and local history types can piece together what life was like in medieval times. The setting matters more than the stones here. The walk from Ballachulish is straightforward enough for families with older children, though younger ones might lose interest quickly once they realise there's no gift shop.

Stay at Invercoe Caravan & Motorhome Park just down the road (it's excellent) and you can combine this with proper walks around the loch and visits to Glencoe. Red Squirrel Campsite is slightly further but highly rated if you want something smaller. Allow an hour maximum including the walk, unless you're genuinely interested in medieval Scottish religious sites - then you might linger longer. Best visited on a clear day when you can actually see across the water.
