Cromarty coastal circuit and McFarquhar's Bed
Summary
This lovely walk has plenty of good coastal views and varied interest. Although the route follows official Core Paths throughout parts are not well maintained; there are a couple of muddy sections in the livestock fields, and a steep eroded descent on the way down to the Bed.
Terrain
The walk mainly follows waymarked paths and unmarked tracks across often very muddy farmland; there is sometimes a locked gate to climb at the 5km point, though this is an official Core Path. The descent to the beach and cave is steep and very eroded and can get overgrown in summer. Livestock in fields on route so dogs must be kept under tight control.
Public Transport
Bus to Cromarty.
Start
