Insane views and Great Walk

WOW! Beaches like this are usually only found much further south in the world. You must head for a walk here given the opportunity. Do not miss this place but beware, the weather can change very quickly and your picnic could be seagul food.

Like all the beaches we visited around Durness it is in pristine condition, peaceful and relaxing with just the sound of the waves and of birds calling. Great place for the dog to run around as long as you keep it under close control as...More

Rocky beach

Stunning strip of clean sand surrounded by rock formations. Nice place for walk along tide line looking on ocean's waves, beaching the rocks with water splash. Very peaceful place at the village foot, picturesque spot on North Coast way.

Stunning

We arrived after days of torrential rain and it was 40 plus winds but we got a few hrs clear and it is beautiful. So many little walks. Stunning to watch waves crash. We stayed at campsite and our view over beach was something else.

I wonder: can someone advise me. I traveled in Scotland last year: Edinburgh, the Highlands, and Isle of Skye. Now, I am looking at north of Inverness, and the Outer Hebrides. I'd like to kayak, walk, and bike. Any suggestions for wild beauty?

Answer

Travelling north on the A9 there are some beautiful little harbours all the way up to Wick, notably Helmsdale, Latheron Wheel and Lybster, Sorry I cannot help with the Outer Hebrides asI have never been. Have fun
