Castle Urquhart on Loch Ness
The untamed wilderness of the Highlands is ideal walking territory – wooded glens, a rugged coastline, dramatic peaks, majestic lochs and misty isles. The spectacular scenery is best washed down with a wee dram from one of the region’s fine distilleries. If you’re looking for a taste of the Highlands, browse tips on how best to explore it.

    Mellon Udrigle Beach

    Posted by SusanneH 17 May 2007

    Golden sand and turquoise water - you could be in the Caribbean when the sun is shining. Stunning views across to the Summer Isles, Suilven, the Coigach mountains and An Teallach make this beach magical.

    From the A832 turn left at Laide to Mellon Udrigle.

    Badachro Bay

    Posted by tenacity 11 May 2007

    Must be the best sheltered harbour on the west coast. Fantasic bay, great beaches in the area (Red Point is fantastic) great walking and great views of Syke.
