If you go to the beach at Gruinard Bay, a glorious drive south from Ullapool past Corrieshalloch Gorge and the mighty Falls of Measach, take a stroll up the wee hill to the south: you get a glorious view of the entire bay, gently ringed by pebbles, grass and rock, with mighty mountains all around.

I stood there and thought if I’m ever going to get married I’m doing it round here. I did.

If you’re in Ullapool, drive north to Cape Adventure for some seakayaking around some delightful coastal bays ringed by knuckles of rock, all in the shadow of Ben Stack – said to be the inspiration for Tolkien’s Mountain of Doom. Driving there through Sutherland is staggering.

Great climb just north of Ullapool, short and pretty easy. It’s an extraordinary hill, all spiky and eroded, offering fabulous views right up Assynt, with its shapely lochs hemmed in by gorgeous mountains.

Ullapool is now touristy but still charming: small, compact, good bookshop, plenty of places to eat/drink; an ideal base.

From there head north to Lochinver via the coast road and again north to Scourie via the coast road (Drumbeg etc).

Late May early June to avoid the worst of the midges (do not underestimate the blighters).

Fantastic, upmarket, comfy B&B style accommodation with a great restaurant, cosy bar and well-stocked book shop. Ullapool is a lovely town on a breath-taking loch and this is the pick of the places to stay.

A lovely fishing village near Inverewe Gdns, also has an ATM, rare in this area! And a fish and chip shop selling locally caught fish. A good selection of shops for a small village, and incredible beach nearby. Nice youth hostel called Carn Dearg.

On the coast road.

Travel to Inverewe Gardens in northern Scotland. High on the cliffs and overlooking the sea, it’s a well-organised and beautiful garden that anyone can enjoy.

Not too far away is Ullapool, from where you can take cruises to see seals and whales. Don't eat on the main street. Go up the hill to the motel, which specialises in steaks and many kinds for beer.

This is where the Inverness crowd really parties - take your girlfriend.
