Lochailort

Lochailort is a village in Scotland that lies at the head of Loch Ailort, a sea loch, on the junction of the Road to the Isles (A830) between Fort William and Mallaig with the A861 loop towards Salen and Strontian. It is served by Lochailort railway station on the West Highland Line. Nearby is Lochailort Inn, a public house, and Our Lady of the Braes, a small Roman Catholic church that was consecrated in 1874 but little used since 1964.

On the opposite side of the loch is Inverailort House. In the Second World War, Special Operations Executive was established at Inverailort in July 1940, later transferring to Arisaig. The village was also the location of the Irregular Warfare Training Centre where British Commandos were trained.

The village and nearby buildings have appeared in films such as Local Hero, Breaking the Waves and Complicity. The main businesses in the area are tourism and salmon farming in the loch.
