Walking in Scotland's Far North (Cicerone)
Ref: CIC173
The old counties of Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caithness, forming Scotlandís north west peninsula, contain some of the countryís most spectacular scenery, and boast many of the most shapely and challenging hills in the British Isles. Stack Polly, Suilven, and Ben Loyal have been favourite postcard peaks for generations and many visitors come to the far north just to enjoy the unique scenery with its knobbly gneiss moors, jutting peaks, rugged coastline, and unspoilt communities.
For these visitors, the far north provides almost endless possibilities. Attractions include boat trips to interesting offshore islands with impressive sea cliffs and colonies of sea birds, fascinating antiquities tracing Scotlandís history from stone-age man to the shameful clearances, and a number of low-level scenic attractions such as Britainís highest waterfall and some of the best beaches in the UK.
