Lonely Planet verdict: North West Scotland
"Although it's less than 50 miles as the crow flies from Ullapool to Kyle of Lochalsh, it's more like 150 miles along the circuitous coastal road - but don't let that put you off - it's a deliciously remote region and there are fine views of beaches and bays backed by mountains all the way along ... Gairloch is a peaceful group of villages streched out around the inner end of a loch. The surrounding area is known for its sandy beaches and good fishing ... Photogenically sited at the entrance to Loch Duich, Eilean Donan Castle is one of Scotland's most evocative castles" (extracts from "Lonely Planet Great Britain - 2003 edition", used with permission) |
