Things To Do
|
| The region is the remotest and most sparsely populated on the British mainland and is still completely unspoiled. To the west the scenery has a rugged, desolate grandeur and to the southeast lies the unique Flow Country.
Nearby are some delightful Straths, the Invernaver Nature Reserve, Borgie Forest and the Kyle of Tongue. There are several mountains including two Munros, Ben Hope and Ben Clebrig. Ben Loyal is noted for its five peaks and is known as "The Queen of Scottish Mountains". Sutherland is a notable region for fishing enthusiasts with salmon, sea trout and brown trout all affording excellent sport and seasonally available locally.
There are some unusual and outstanding areas for bird walks, deer watching, mountain climbing and hill walking to local peaks offering panoramic views of the coastline further West. Ospreys have been seen taking fish on the Naver and there have been sightings of the Great Northern Diver from time to time. Otters may be seen if the observer is quiet and seals are now increasingly common along the shore; whales sometimes come into view and have been spotted from the hotel.
The area is also a growing attraction for those who like to ride the surf on the superb waves of Torrisdale bay. Photography enthusiasts and amateurs alike will have no difficulty finding some wonderful opportunities to capture the unique beauty of the coastline and surroundings.
