Onich boasts a number of hotel and guest houses including the where the ferry crossing to Ardgour takes place. Ballachulish is split into North and South by Loch Leven but the two areas are joined by the Ballachulish Bridge. The name comes from the for village of the narrows and the first settlement to bear the name lay where North Ballachulish is today. Its twin on the South side of the loch rapidly followed. Loch Leven narrows dramatically here, where North and South Ballachulish grew up around the slipways from which a ferry crossed the loch as early as 1730. A vehicle ferry started to cross the narrows in 1912 but the service, which could be pretty scary, finally disappeared in 1975 when the bridge was opened. South Ballachulish largely comprises the slipway and the hotel. Close to the steps leading down from the bridge to the Oban road, near the hotel, is a memorial to James Stewart - innocent of the crime but hanged here in 1752 for the.
