Book holiday accommodation in Glenelg and you'll be visiting somewhere that has an unusual claim to fame - it's the only place in the world that's twinned with Mars! It is also a place to go if you really want to get away from it all. This scattered community is truly rural with only a single track road leading to it. You can take your pick from a select choice of holiday accommodation in either Kirkton of Glenelg (the main village) or the nearby hamlet of Quarry. Or, for even more peace and quiet, choose a holiday cottage in the valley or on the edge of Kyle Rhea Strait which stretches from Loch Alsh to Loch Hourn.
