Appin is a coastal district of the Scottish West Highlands bounded to the west by Loch Linnhe, to the south by Loch Creran, to the east by the areas of Benderloch as well as Lorne, and also to the north by Loch Leven. It exists north-east to south-west, and also measures 14 miles (23 kilometres) in length by 7 miles (11 km) in breadth. The name, indicating ‘abbey land’, of Ligmore Abbey, is originated from the Middle Irish apdaine. The area is primarily in Argyll and Bute, with a coastal strip to the north, along Loch Leven, within the Argyll as well as Bute council area. The scenery of the district is a mix of seascapes with tough and also mountainous country inland. Appin types part of the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area, one of 40 in Scotland. The principal hills are double tops of Beinn a’ Bheithir – 3,362 feet (1,025 m) as well as 3,284 feet (1,001 m) – and Creag Ghorm – 2,372 feet (723 m) – in the north, as well as Fraochaidh 2,883 feet (879 m), Meall Bàn 2,148 feet (655 m) and also Beinn Mhic na Céisich 2,093 feet (638 m) near the western flank of Glen Creran. The primary rivers are the Coe and also Laroch, streaming into Loch Leven, the Duror and also Salachan flowing into Loch Linnhe, and the Iola as well as Creran streaming right into Loch Creran. The leading sectors are forestry and tourism, with lead mining and slate quarrying being of previous significance, yet the Glensanda superquarry, in Morvern on the opposite bank of Loch Linnhe also provides neighborhood employment. Ballachulish, Duror, Portnacroish, Appin Town as well as Port Appin are the major villages. Appin was the country of a branch of the Stewarts. The A828 roadway leaves the coast of Appin. A passenger-only ferry to the island of Lismore runs from Port Appin. The area previously had a train, yet the Caledonian Railway company’s branch line from Connel to Ballachulish was closed in 1966.
