North
Western Highlands - Scotland Coach Tours - 8 Days
Tour Highlights
• Shin Falls • Inverewe Gardens • Inverness
• Lochs & mountains of Sutherland
• Gairloch • Lochinver • Mountains of Wester Ross
The breathtaking scenery
of Wester Ross is reminiscent of the Norwegian fjords, with
dramatic mountain peaks and majestic lochs that bite into
the coastline. Ullapool developed as a trading post for the
Outer Hebrides, and enjoys an idyllic setting near the mouth
of Loch Broom. The village has retained its timeless, peaceful
quality - street signs are in both Gaelic and English, fishermen
land their rich harvest in the picturesque harbour, and the
friendliness of the local people is matched only by the serenity
and unspoiled beauty of the surrounding area.
