Tour Scotland Travel Video Charlestown Sheltered Inlet Of Loch Gairloch Wester Ross

Tour Scotland travel video Blog of the harbour and loch on ancestry visit to Charlestown on the coast of Wester Ross in the Scotish Highlands of Scotland. Until 1843, when a road was built, almost all access to this remote area was by sea. Crofting and fishing, particularly cod fishing, used to be the mainstay of employment in this area. Oysters and other shellfish were also harvested for the London market. Crabs, lobsters and prawns are still caught here and sent to markets in England and Europe.
