Scourie Travel Guide

 scottishvisitor Says:  It was with great pleasure and blessed relief to encounter the most mind blowing Scourie Bay. The sea was like a gentle millpond displaying glorious hues of blue toned colours blended by the orangey browns of the seaweed and the clasp of the grey rocks which encircle and... 

 scottishvisitor Says:  The War Memorial erected by the Scourie Community is dedicated to the Soldiers from the local area who lost their lives in WWl. I did like the use of words on this memorial which read in part "in grateful remembrance of the unreturning Brave. Faithful unto Death" The statue... 

 scottishvisitor Says:  Scourie is a quiet crofting village in the centre of the Parish of Eddrachiles in the far north west of Sutherland.

 nickandchris Says:  We arrived here at lunchtime on a beautiful day. We ended up staying a couple of nights, it was such a lovely location.There is a reasonable parking area, but not exactly level, we ended up at a bit of an angle but what the heck! Just make sure you leave the boathouse doors...
