The crofting village of Scourie, once a Clan Mackay stronghold, lies in North West Sutherland, and is an ideal base for exploring the dramatic, wildlife-rich surrounding coast and countryside.
A historic crofting village, Scourie lies on the north west coast of Scotland, a wonderfully wild area of the country. This small community is the perfect place for exploring the spectacular hills, lochs and the nearby isle of Handa to the north.
The surrounding area is famed for its rugged beauty and remote charm, benefitting from a wonderful array of natural delights which include the seabird colonies on Handa Island, red and black-throated divers in the nearby lochs and in the bay, otters along the coast and the tiny frog orchids among Iron Age ruins.
The west coast of the Scottish Highlands is renowned for its superb scenery and limpid summer light. Golden and white-tailed eagles soar overhead, while otters feed and play in rocky inlets.
