Gairloch has a backdrop of spectacular mountain scenery, hugs the shores of Loch Gairloch, and is the jewel in Wester Ross’s crown. We stay at the popular Gairloch Hotel, which has a wonderful beachside setting, looking towards the Isle of Skye. We include visits to the intriguing local museum, nearby Inverewe Gardens and Ullapool. A highlight will be our outing to storybook Eilean Donan Castle, stunningly set on a small island at the confluence of three lochs.
