Around Glenaladale
This is a wild and beautiful area where the scale of living in
a vast unspoilt environment is a unique experience. The A838 is the main
route around the north west coast of Sutherland from Durness the most
north-westerly village on Mainland Britain and the centre of the ancient
lands of Clan Mackay. The beaches that line the coast and are visible
from the road are picture postcard visions. Others hidden from view are
just as easily accessible when their location is known. The drive past,
Meall Meadhonach, Beinne Spionnaidh and Cranstackie towering to the west
and Loch Eriboll on the east.
The road turns west along the top of Scotland, a large detour to get
round Loch Eriboll, a sea loch that opens out 
into the Pentland Firth. This seemingly remote road passes through the
strung out crofting township of Laid where little houses are backed by
rough croft ground to the shores down the west side of Loch Eriboll. This
was created in 1832 to house people cleared from Eriboll, on the far side
of the loch, to make way for sheep.
The village of Durness 5 miles west provides 2 grocery shops, a campsite overlooking Sango Bay and sandy beaches at Balnakeil, Sango, Sangobeg and Ceannabeinne. Durness is a remote and scattered crofting township spread out along the coast.
