North-west Sutherland - from Assynt and Lochinver north to Durness - is truly spectacular. This is an area of rugged mountains, long sandy beaches and remote glens. Small crofting and fishing communities cluster along the coastline and offer a range of visitor facilities as well as access to a wide range of activities including walking, birdwatching, sailing and fishing.

For anglers, the choice is endless - hundreds of hill lochs beckon to offer a day free of crowds and the exhilaration of a natural environment brimming with wildlife and fresh Highland air.
