The Northern Highlands

The largest area of the Highlands, it has some of the most remote and wild countryside with vast heather moors, high mountains, sandy beaches and rugged sea cliffs. Most of what you find in the Northern Highlands is on a large scale.

The coastline from Lochcarron to Ullapool is typical of the jagged west coast, with numerous sea lochs separated by impressive mountains. Peaceful Highland villages nestle at the bottom of the mountains and look out over the ever changing seascape. The east boasts many ancient sites - cairns, carved stones and stone circles - and long stretches of sandy beaches. The sometimes wild North Coast is popular with bird watchers, and migrating whales and dolphins can often be seen.
