A picturesque fishing town, nestled on the shores of Lochbroom, is a great holiday destination and a gateway to the Northern Highlands.
Situated in one of the least spoilt natural environments in the UK, the town boasts a wealth of things to see and do. There is a great choice of varied walks in the area including mountains, rocky coasts and long inland footpaths with a good portion of the finest summits in the north west Highlands too. The town makes a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside and touring Wester Ross and the Highlands with Inverness being only an hour’s drive south and Stornoway and Lewis in the Outer Hebrides are just a short ferry ride away.

If you get the chance to try out the North Coast 500 just go for it, just amazing views with nice roads with NO POTHOLES?

This has made me want to return to do the rest of the Scottish 500 route. You might get to find the most northerly palm tree in the world at Tongue... enjoy!
