2025 Lairg Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#lakes During my summer vacation, I spent some time at Loch Eriboll in the Scottish Highlands, and it was an absolute gem. Nestled in the far north of Scotland, this stunning loch offers a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Best of all, there’s no entrance fee—just the cost of getting there and perhaps a few small expenses for parking or local amenities. 🌊🏞️ The loch’s remote location means it’s a perfect spot for tranquility and nature lovers. The views of the surrounding mountains and the expansive waters are breathtaking. I spent a wonderful day walking along the shore, taking in the fresh Highland air, and enjoying the peace and quiet. Nearby, the small village of Durness is charming and offers a few local cafes and shops. It’s also worth checking out the nearby Smoo Cave, a dramatic sea cave with fascinating rock formations and waterfalls. Loch Eriboll was a highlight of my trip, combining natural beauty with a sense of adventure. #trip #LochEriboll #ScottishHighlands #NatureEscape #HighlandViews #TravelScotland

Achmelvich beach Scotland

#getgoing2025 Achmelvich Beach, North-west Scotland Among the little islands and coves of the west coast of Scotland can be found countless beautiful beaches. Some are wild stretches of sand, some sheltered bays with turquoise sea when the sun shines, and almost all are free from crowds, pollution and noise. In the far north-west of the Scottish Highlands, Achmelvich has a series of lovely, intimate beaches backed by a picturesque, flowering landscape. It offers clean white sands (no dogs in summer holidays), clear, safe waters where porpoises swim in summer, an annual sandcastle-building competition and Europe's tiniest castle, Hermit's Castle.
