About trip
Assynt is a tiny parish tucked into the North Western corner of
Scotland. It is bounded on four corners by the Point of Stoer, Kylesku,
Ledmore (the furthest point inland) and Inverkirkaig.
The fishing village of LOCHINVER
is now the principle settlement in Assynt, with the remainder of the
population scattered around the coastal communities from Inverkirkaig
north to Clachtoll, Stoer and Drumbeg. In earlier times the small inland
hamlets of Inchnadamph & Elphin were key settlements – surrounded
as they are by fertile limestone soils.
