Welcome to Wester Ross in the NW Highlands of Scotland, a land of stunning loch and mountain
scenery, magnificent sand beaches, abundant wildlife, wide open spaces and peace and tranquility.
As well as easily viewed landscapes, Wester Ross also has some of the most remote and wild
(and roadless) land in all of the UK, notably north and west of Loch Maree.
In this particularly rugged area of the western Highlands, red sandstone peaks rise above a landscape
of moors and hundreds of lochs. Several nature reserves protect the area's wildlife and terrain.
Traditional ways of life are retained in the crofting and fishing villages that lie along the shores of the
sea lochs.
This is the region of Scotland referred to by the "Lonely Planet" as one of their top five places in the
UK to visit during 2009. Your eyes will feast on a real plethora of sights, with something
different around almost every corner. You will see pretty villages such as Poolewe and Gairloch,
magnificent sandy beaches such as those at Redpoint, Big Sand, Camas na Muic and Mellon Udrigle.
Many lochs, both fresh water (such as the beautiful Loch Maree) and sea water (such as Loch Gairloch,
Loch Ewe and little loch Broom). As you approach the farmstead of Mellon Udrigle you are presented
with excellent views.
On its own, the beach would be well worth going out of your way to visit. But what makes it really
special is a distant mountain vista possibly unequalled from any low level viewpoint in Scotland.
To the north east the views include the distinctive side-on profile of Suilven near Lochinver some
25 miles distant, and carry on round taking in the mountains of Coigach, including a glimpse of the top
of Stac Pollaidh. To the south east the views conclude with a glimpse of An Teallach before becoming
lost in the more local humps and bumps of the peninsula you are standing on between Gruinard Bay
and Loch Ewe.
The area is dominated by the mountains of Letterewe forest, Fisherfield forest and Strathnasheallag
forest, with An Teallach being the jewel of the crown. An Teallach means 'The Anvil' or 'The Forge'
in Scottish Gaelic although most scholars claim the latter is most correct as the mountain's name refers
more to the colour of the terrain in certain lighting conditions, rather than shape.
The mountain is mostly made of Torridonian sandstone. Like the peaks around Torridon (for which the
rock is named), An Teallach has terraced sides riven with steep gullies and a sharp rocky summit crest.
The steepest section, known as Corrag Bhuide, rises above Loch Toll an Lochain. Corrag Bhuide's most spectacular feature is an overhanging pinnacle known as Lord Berkeley's Seat. Wild, rugged, tranquil and very photogenic? Oh yes, you better believe it.
This 5 night staying in the area, will be a once in a lifetime experience. You have been warned though, once there, you want to go back again.
Do not hesitate to book this course, have a look at the pictures from the area and book it in advance. Spaces will not be available for very long.
