Things to Do  

Bad Call Loch Inchard

Bad Call Loch Inchard, Kinlochbervie

 scottishvisitor Says:  Loch Inchard is the most northerly sea loch on the West Coast of Scotlnd. It sits in the shadow of Foinaven mountain which has an offshore rig named after it. This was the second place also named 'Bad Call' the first was 'Bad Call Bay' at Loch Duart near Scourie. I was... 

Seascapes and Stunning landscapes

Seascapes and Stunning landscapes, Kinlochbervie

 scottishvisitor Says:  There are few buildings around Kinlochbervie, just a row of fishermens' cottages near the harbour, and a scattering of small crofts. The atmosphere is quiet, picture perfect, calm and tranquil. I loved looking past the cottages, which hugged the hillside, out to the open sea... 

Harbour Home

Harbour Home, Kinlochbervie

 scottishvisitor Says:  Kinlochbervie Harbour was a very quiet place when we visited. No large white fish fishing vessels were in sight (you would have to visit very early in the morning to catch them) Most of the little boats were pleasure crafts but we did also see some tiny local fishing boats... 

Skerricha

Skerricha, Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  Again, on the motorbike, we took a turning close by Loch na Thull, to Skerricha, on Loch a Chagh-Fi. The narrow road follows Loch na Thull and another tiny loch, both full of water lillies, before ending at the very head of the sea loch,Loch a Chagh- Fi.There is a sign here... 

Sandwood Bay

Sandwood Bay, Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  Sandwood Bay is as remote as it gets.It's situated south west of Cape Wrath and north of Kinlochbervie, with no road to it. I'll own up now and tell you we didn't make this beach, it being only accessed via a lonely, boggy four mile walk. I felt not inclined to make the... 

Loch Inchard

Loch Inchard, Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  On the move again we decided to park in a layby and get the motorbike off and explore a couple of roads we didn't want to take the van along.We parked next to the attractive little inland Loch na Thull and set off back the way we had just come and took the minor turning up... 

Fuel Up and Stock Up (Kinlochbervie)

Fuel Up and Stock Up (Kinlochbervie), Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  First impressions of Kinlochbervie are why is it such a large, strung out place for somewhere so remote? Then you catch sight of the large industrial harbour where fish processing warehouses line the quay and you begin to appreciate why it is the size it is.Today,... 

Wild Beaches

Wild Beaches, Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  The beaches north of Kinlochbervie are where this area's real beauty lies.Take the minor road north from Kinlochbervie. It's steep in places and narrow but our motorhome managed ok. The first beach you come to is a turning to the left, and immediately a right, which takes... 

Hotels  

Sheigra Beach: Spectacular Beach Location

Sheigra Beach: Spectacular Beach Location, Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  Yet another place we failed to camp at!!We went to have a look at Sheigra after camping at Droman, out of curiosity. I had read you could camp here, but you can never be sure how things can change over time. We arrived about 10.30am and the sun was just coming out. We took... 

Droman Pier: Wild Seas At Droman

Droman Pier: Wild Seas At Droman, Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  It was raining, we had looked at Oldshoremore and Polin with a view to staying the night. No joy there, so we pressed on and took the next turning down to Droman Pier, not knowing what the road was like or whether we would be able to stay the night there. The road turned out... 

Restaurants  

Kinlochbervie Hotel: A cool drink with sea views

Kinlochbervie Hotel: A cool drink with sea views, Kinlochbervie

 scottishvisitor Says:  The Kinlochbervie Hotel is a large hotel in a very small place, it caters mainly for coach parties but they must have been off on a trip when we arrived. We took a seat outside to enjoy the sea views in glorious sunshine but soon had to retreat inside again to seek some... 

Transportation  

If you want to go further north

If you want to go further north, Kinlochbervie

 scottishvisitor Says:  Kinlochbervie is the very last place you can travel by road in the North West of Scotland. The single track B801 stops in the village, travelling further north, you would have to walk. Surprisingly there is still a fair chunk of land north of here but no place names just... 

Making The Most Of The Motorbike

Making The Most Of The Motorbike, Kinlochbervie

 nickandchris Says:  I must admit, I had reservations when Nick decided we should have a motorbike that would fit on the back of the van. I wasn't too sure about travelling by motorbike but now, having had the bike for three years, I wouldn't be without it. It is the ideal combination, when we... 

Shopping  

Achnairn Game & Shellfish: Fresh Game & Shellfish

Achnairn Game & Shellfish: Fresh Game & Shellfish, Kinlochbervie

 scottishvisitor Says:  The exterior and interior of this shop are unremarkable - housed in what only could be described as a farm shed. I was a bit surprised to see a small herd of Highland Cattle in the field ajoining the Achnairn farm shop. I had expected to see the long ago imported silka deer...

Kinlochbervie and its links to the sea

Kinlochbervie and its links to the sea, Kinlochbervie

 scottishvisitor Says:  Kinlochbervie is a major fishing port in Scotland and indeed the biggest on the West Coast. I was surprised to learn that fishing boats from the East Coast predominantly boats from Peterhead - Europe's biggest white fish port - land their catch here when they fish the...

 The long and winding roads of Sutherland saw us once again on a journey of discovery. Kinlochbervie was not planned on our Summer trip but I'm glad we took the last road on the West Coast to find its...
