Glenuig

Glenuig (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Uige) is a small village in Moidart, Lochaber, Highland, on the west coast of Scotland comprising of around 60 people. It is around 30 miles west of Fort William and 20 miles from Ardnamurchan Point, the most westerly point of the British mainland.

During the late 80s and early 90s it was home to the Glenuig Music Festival, which was organised to raise funds for the Glenuig Community Hall. The building of the community hall has been followed by many other small communities around Scotland. It has also been home to the world famous MacDonald brothers, Scottish folk musicians.
