“Centre of the highland wilderness” This area has everything from Munro walking to lazing on the beach. The May weather we had was changeable, with snow at altitude and warm sun at sea level. The photos were very good as the northern light is particularly clear. Lairg is centrally positioned but you need a car and be prepared for longish journeys on single track roads (and no traffic). The Highlands are mandatory for people who like the outdoors.
