Loch Gairloch is on the North West Coast of the Highlands of Scotland, looking out onto the north part of the Isle of Skye to the west, Harris to the north west, with the Torridon and Applecross mountains in view to south and south east.
Loch Gairloch has the foothills of the Torridon mountains as its southeastern shore, and the entire range within fifteen miles, along with many other outstanding mountains and glens within easy drive time. Some of Scotlands finest climbing is only minutes away, with plenty of less challenging, but scenically marvelous lower level walks. The coast walks are superb
Access by road is by the A832, leading from Inverness in the south east and Ullapool in the north. A short section of the road to the south is still single track, but this is rapidly being upgraded to two lane carriageway.
We are in one of the hotspots for whale dolphin and porpoise sightings and these can often be watched from your cottage windows. Seal and rare birds, such as Black and Red Throated Divers also present themselves more or less daily.
