Things to Do  

Blue sky surrounds the Kirk

Blue sky surrounds the Kirk, Bonar Bridge

 scottishvisitor Says:  The day we visited Bonar was hot with blue skies which would have been more at home in Greece than Scotland, I had spotted the Clock Tower so nothing else to do we wandered up Kirk Brae to check out the Church which stood high above the village. We were not disappointed by... 

The Village & the Kyle of Sutherland

The Village & the Kyle of Sutherland, Bonar Bridge

 scottishvisitor Says:  The village of Bonar Bridge was named just Bonar before the building of the bridge. It dates back to the 1300's when an Iron Foundry was established here to take advantage of the iron ore which was dragged here from the West Coast. Today you see no relics of the iron... 

Bonar Bridge to cross or not

Bonar Bridge to cross or not, Bonar Bridge

 scottishvisitor Says:  We arrived at Bonar Bridge from Lairg so we had no need to cross this bridge. The bridge dominates this small unassuming village as it spans the Kyle of Sutherland in clean lines and a certain beauty especially on our visit when it was framed by blue sky. The original...

Dunroamin Hotel: The long wait but worth it

Dunroamin Hotel: The long wait but worth it, Bonar Bridge

 scottishvisitor Says:  Getting back to Bonar on a second evening we hoped to visit the Bridge Hotel again but were out of luck. It was shut which surprised me as there are only two places to eat and this was a busy evening after the village gala. Our only option for our hungry stomachs was the... 

The Bridge Hotel & Restaurant: We didn't start the fire

The Bridge Hotel & Restaurant: We didn't start the fire, Bonar Bridge

 scottishvisitor Says:  The Bridge Hotel Restaurant has a cosy comfortable feel with natural stone decoration. I did think the black carpet with the name emblazoned along its length and breadth was a tad too much but would ensure no one would want to steal this and it did give us a bit of a... 

Shopping  

Jackies Corner Shop: All kinds of everything

Jackies Corner Shop: All kinds of everything, Bonar Bridge

 scottishvisitor Says:  Looking in the window of this hardware shop we spotted a dog harness - a most unexpected find! We had bought a dog harness for Cuileann in Aberdeen just before we ventured to Sutherland but we had forgotten to add it in our packing list! This shop was so crammed full of all...

The Great Cover Up

The Great Cover Up, Bonar Bridge

 scottishvisitor Says:  We had seen the advertising for the Gala due to be held on the first Saturday in August on an earlier visit but we had thought we would miss it as we intended to go somewhere else that day. However, we did arrive back in Bonar for an evening meal and caught the last sights...

Bonar Bridge a place to pass through

 We had two visits to Bonar Bridge on our Summer trip to Sutherland. The village is not exactly a tourist magnet nor does it hold any dramatic Highland scenery. However it is a friendly place to stop...

 About 15 miles north of Tain there is a place called Ardgay. Across the Kyles of Sutherland from it lies the sleepy town of Bonar Bridge. The two places are linked by a bridge. Once over the bridge......
