In a nutshell
A place to forget all around you
nickandchris Says: After reading about the road to the lighthouse, I thankfully managed to persuade Nick not to take the van along here and go by motorbike. Am I glad we made this decision!! The road is VERY narrow after Melvaig and has some tiny bridges on very tight corners. I seriosly think...
mumpy73 Says: Stunning links Golf Course 9 holes - founded in 1898. Only Par 62, but very testing. Superb greens. Listed as one of the most scenic courss in Scotland - just £16 for 18 holes or £20 for a days golf.
mumpy73 Says: A stunnung links 9 hole course, founded in 1888. Short course, 18 hole par of 62. £16 / round. You must play this old curse as it is one of the most scenic in Scotland. Around 40 miles from Inverness.
nickandchris Says: Gairloch is not large, but to us seemed like a metropolis after our travels!! It is really split into three areas, Charlestown to the south,set mainly in woodland, where there is a pier and harbour with a golf course at the south end of Gairloch's beach. Auchtercairn, in the...
RhineRoll Says: Redpoint is as far as you can go by car from Gairloch. If you continue on foot along the shoreline, you'll eventually end up in Shieldaig on Loch Torridon.Lovely views across the water to the Isle of Skye and the Applecross hills.
Rua Reidh Lighthouse Outdoor Centre
RhineRoll Says: When in Gairloch, be sure to take the small single track road to Melvaig and beyond to the Rua Reidh Lighthouse. This is one of the nicest lookout spots along this wonderful coastal section.The lighthouse long having been automated, the adjacent cottages have been converted...
Beach Side: Camping On The Shore At Melvaig
nickandchris Says: In Melvaig,a local man, originally from Lancaster, told us we would be fine camping on the beach at Melvaig. We had already looked at the place and thought we would be intrusive as there was a house on the beach. No problems, they wouldn't mind and anyway, they were away....
Rua Reidh Guesthouse: It's the end of the world
Bigs Says: If you like to be on a very remote place this might be something for you. We had a very good time staying at the lighthouse. We liked it so much that we stayed for four nights instead of the the planned two. And if I ever will be in the area again I will definately stay here...

Melvaig Inn: Wild Times To Be Had Here.....
nickandchris Says: I'm afraid we didn't eat here but enjoyed a drink in this unusual outpost.The Melvaig Inn is not obvious, being located off the small B road in Melvaig. The building itself looks more like a house than a pub and outside there is only a small, unobtrusive sign with the pub's...
