Inverie (/ˌɪnvəˈriː/; Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Aoidh) is the main village on the Knoydart peninsula in the Scottish Highlands. It is located on the north side of Loch Nevis and, although on the mainland of Britain, the network of single-track roads surrounding the village is not connected to the rest of the British road network. Inverie is only reachable by a 17-mile (27-kilometre) hike over mountainous terrain[1] or by a regular 7 mi (11 km) ferry from Mallaig. This physical isolation gives the village a Guinness National Record for remoteness within the United Kingdom.
