Things to Do  

Armadale.

Armadale., Bettyhill

 nickandchris Says:  Armadale is a tiny community (complete with it's own free roaming pig!)west of Melvich, just off the A836. From the village a well maintained footpath leads down through wild flowers until it meets Allt Beag beck and then runs alongside it before it flows out onto the...

Strathnaver Trail and Route

Strathnaver Trail and Route, Bettyhill

 nickandchris Says:  We opted to travel from Altnaharra to Bettyhill via the Strathnaver Trail, along the shores of Loch Naver. At the time, we didn't realise this was an area of the Sutherland Clearances in the early 19thc. Along the route are various places to stop and read about the...

Surfing Beaches, Bettyhill

 nickandchris Says:  The coast here is pretty untamed and is popular with surfers and windsurfers. On our visit, it was easy to see why, the wind was fairly whipping up the surf.

Peace And Quiet.: A Friend's Field In Armadale., Bettyhill

 nickandchris Says:  2011 saw us visiting the very north of Scotland for the second time. Our first night's destination on the north coast was Armadale, a few miles east of Bettyhill, where a work associate of Nick's had very kindly offered us the use of his field to park the van in for a couple... 

Grummore (Caravan Club Site): Set On The Shores Of Loch Naver

Grummore (Caravan Club Site): Set On The Shores Of Loch Naver, Bettyhill

 nickandchris Says:  Although we didn't stay on this site, we rather liked the look of it, until I looked the price up!! In peak season, for two adults it was in excess of £13 and there are no toilet or shower facilities. You are paying for the remoteness with it's beautiful lochside location...

Caravan Club CL.: Can't Beat The Views......, Bettyhill

 nickandchris Says:  I couldn't believe it when I found a CL (small campsite, certificated location, that only takes 5 units but you have to belong to the Caravan Club and Camping and Caravanning Club to use these) in the exact location we were looking at.!!So, for our first two nights on... 

Off The Beaten Path
