The Beaches

Spectacular white-sand beaches adorn the coast of Sutherland, with clear waters, and often not another soul to be seen.

Pictured here are Achmelvich, some 5 miles from Inverkirkaig, and Oldshoremore, about an hours drive to the North. To the south of Ullapool is the magnificent Gruinard bay, and just beyond that, even more beautiful is the beach of Melon Udrigle. Further lovely beaches can be found at Clashnessie, Clachtoll and at Achiltibue

The Sunsets

“ Remember to keep your camera handy ”

The North-West coast of Scotland is famous for its breathtaking sunsets. Combined with the spectacular, steep mountains, and myriad of islands dotted around the coast, sunset can be a time of utter beauty.

Although the three sunsets over Inverkirkaig bay, pictured here, are very nice, they pale in comparison to some we have seen over the years. Remember to keep your camera handy, as some evenings the whole sky can glow deep red, or brilliant yellow.
