Stunning Sutherland


The north west highlands of Scotland feature some of the most beautiful and awesome scenery in the world. The area of Coigach and Assynt are important geological sites, and although the mountains here are not the highest in Scotland, their unusual geometry coupled with the surrounding wilderness landscape make them unforgettable.
