Assynt

Assynt has some of the most spectacular mountain and coastal scenery in Scotland.

​

There is plenty to explore within a short distance from the cottage. No matter what your age or ability, there are drives, walks, cycles and climbs for everyone.

.

Wherever you are in Assynt, keep your eyes open for wildlife. The area is home to a wide variety of wildlife, many less common elsewhere, as well as being a regular migration site for many species. Nearby Handa Island is a stunning wildlife reserve, with dramatic cliff views and 100,000 seabirds to watch in the breeding season, including the adorable puffins !

​

The peace and quiet is often an attraction to visitors, but there are villages and communities nearby, many offering a welcome and range of attractions and places to stop and see.

​

If you prefer to take it easy, you can just sit and watch the scenery and the weather from the garden bench with a cuppa, or maybe just wander down to the lighthouse along the road.
