Things to do During A Visit to Sutherland
Leisure Activities and Adventure Holidays
The Eddrachilles Hotel is ideally located for an active and interesting holiday, as well as being a place in which to escape from the bustle of every day life to the peace and tranquillity of the Highlands. Explore the local area or use the hotel as a centre for touring the North and West of Scotland.
Although the Eddrachilles is not a dedicated fishing hotel, for those who would like a day on the loch, there is a local angling club for brown trout in Scourie, where membership is available to hotel guests at a moderate charge.
Famous as a bird sanctuary and for its magnificent cliffs and stacks, Handa Island is only a few miles away to the north. Boat trips across the short stretch of water can be made from nearby Tarbet.
To the south are the waterfalls of Eascoul-Aluin which, with a fall of 658 feet, are the tallest waterfalls in Britain - superb photographic opportunities await you.
Explore the caves and rock arches carved by the sea and watch the seals, which keep an inquisitive eye on you!
To the north are deserted sandy beaches that stretch for miles. Probably the finest in the country, the haunted Sandwood Bay - the graveyard of many ships wrecked off Cape Wrath - is well worth a visit.
For the walker or climber, the higher mountains of this area are within easy reach of Scourie.
Nearby, you can enjoy the unaltered wild and rugged scenery of Sutherland - hills, rocks, and thousands of small lochs are set into the Sutherland landscape.
Enjoy a sea kayaking day trip with Cape Adventure, a well established and popular leisure activity specialist just up the road from the Eddrachilles Hotel, see - capeadventure.co.uk - for more details of activities for both adults and children.
