A wildly beautiful corner of Scotland

Fishing, wildlife, walking, lochs, mountains and beautiful highland coastlines all await. This stunning corner of Scotland offers something for everyone. Although renowned for excellent trout and salmon fishing there’s far more to discover around Sutherland. Base yourself at Scourie Hotel and enjoy gentle beach walks or more strenuous hikes through magnificent scenery and rugged landscapes. Enjoy spectacular bird watching with a trip to Handa Island or a day out on one of the stunning golf courses at Durness or Dornoch. If you’re driving, or cycling, the North Coast 500 (NC500), the area around Scourie is one of the most stunning stretches. Travelling the coastal road from Ullapool north through Kylesku and onto Scourie shows Scotland’s West Coast at its best.
