Durness and North Sutherland

Northwest Sutherland is one of the most sparsely populated and yet hauntingly beautiful landscapes in Britain. Stunning but deserted sandy beaches lie along the coast like jewels whilst the vast moorlands and glittering lochans are overlooked by gaunt, bare and rocky mountains ascended by few. This is a special place.

The main villages are Scourie on the west coast, Tongue on the north, and Durness, the most northwesterly settlement in Britain, just a few miles from the dramatic cliffs of Cape Wrath.

Note that we have a separate section for Assynt.
