A PLACE APART
Wild Coast.
Endless Possibilities.
Wester Ross is one of the most spectacular corners of Scotland, and one of the least discovered. From ancient mountains and white sand beaches to world-famous gardens and freshly landed seafood, there is far more to see and do here than most visitors expect.
Whether you're after adventure, culture, wildlife or simply somewhere wonderful to sit with a coffee and a view, Wester Ross will not disappoint. Our local service covers Gairloch, Poolewe, Inverasdale, Aultbea, Laide, Torridon, Applecross and Achnasheen, and anywhere in between. Ask us about transport when planning a visit; some suggestions below are outside our local area.

THE LOCAL NOTEBOOK
Find Your Kind of Day
Bealach na Bà (Pass of the Cattle)
One of the most dramatic roads in Scotland, the Bealach na Bà climbs steeply from Lochcarron over the Applecross peninsula, with hairpin bends and breathtaking views across to Skye and the Outer Hebrides. On a clear day, the view from the summit is simply unforgettable.
Inverewe Garden, Poolewe
Sitting on the coast at Poolewe and warmed by the Gulf Stream, Inverewe is one of Scotland's most celebrated gardens. Created from bare rock in 1862, it is now home to exotic plants from across the globe, including Himalayan blue poppies, New Zealand tree ferns and rare Wollemi pines. It is managed by the National Trust for Scotland.
Corrieshalloch Gorge
A spectacular mile-long box canyon near Braemore Junction, where the River Droma plunges 150 feet over the Falls of Measach. It is one of the finest gorges in the UK, with a new visitor centre opened in 2023, and a must-stop on the North Coast 500.
Eilean Donan Castle
On the southern edge of Wester Ross, where three sea lochs meet, sits one of Scotland's most photographed castles. Dating from the 13th century and restored in the early 20th century, Eilean Donan is a breathtaking sight and well worth a visit.
Strome Castle, Lochcarron
The atmospheric ruins of a 15th-century fortress on the shore of Loch Carron, once contested between the MacKenzies and the MacDonalds. It is a short walk from the road and free to visit.
Plockton Village
Plockton became famous as the filming location for the TV series Hamish Macbeth. It is a charming cluster of whitewashed cottages around a sheltered harbour, complete with palm trees warmed by the Gulf Stream. It's wonderful for a stroll, a boat trip or a meal at the inn.
