About the local area

Gairloch is a charming village set on the west coast, surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches, with the awe-inspiring Torridon mountain range as a dramatic back-drop.  There is a good selection of shops in the small but vibrant village, as well as excellent restaurants, bars and cafés within walking distance.  Warmed by the Gulf Stream this beautiful region of the Western Highlands is a unique area, where palm trees and rare plants flourish; the nearby sub-tropical gardens at Inverewe bear testament to this and are well worth a visit.  The immediate area offers a wealth of activities including a 9-hole golf course, pony trekking, cycling (bikes available for hire locally), canoeing and sailing, as well as walking and climbing in the spectacular Ben Eighe National Park in the heart of the Torridon mountain range.  Fishing trips are available locally and there are also various wildlife excursions to suit all needs, including a special Giant Skate fishing trip as well as  a wonderful voyage out to the uninhabited Shaints islands (the only trip from mainland Scotland to these remote islands) to view the millions of nesting sea-birds, spotting whales and dolphins on the way.  With unspoilt sandy beaches and superb scenery, this is an ideal holiday location for all ages.
