Assynt and NW Sutherland
Following a spectacular coastal route, this part of the Highlands provides you with an insight into life on the very edge of Europe. Numerous sea lochs, beautiful empty beaches, extraordinary mountains set in ancient rock and heather clad hills – all this awaits you. Wherever you turn, dramatic scenery forms a backdrop you will remember long after you visit. Achmelvich beach, with pale white sands and clear green seas, provides a haven of tranquillity to the senses, whilst the unbelievable sea cliffs at Cape Wrath make you feel more alive than you felt possible. The mystery of the Highlands pervades the very atmosphere. Legend has it that mermaids and the ghost of a shipwrecked sailor haunt beautiful Sandwood Bay – and in this dream landscape who is to say it is not possible? This is a land long celebrated by poets and artists –once you have visited you will know why. |
