Three Sisters Viewpoint
Scenic spot
👍👍 We parked at the viewpoint for a walk to the hidden valley (Coire Gabhail), which was very scenic although very steep to scrambling in places, some parts aren't for the feint hearted but we're not expert hill climbers, so can be done by an amateur with caution where needed but not easy and no access...

St Ninian’s beach
Scenic spot
👍👍 Absolutely stunning. Stopped by only because I overheard someone comment on it and I'm so pleased that we did. It was spitting with rain when we arrived, but it cleared to a blue sky, There was so much to enjoy - gusty wind, large waves, birds, a seal, sand, stunning views. The nearby village of B...

Reef Beach
Scenic spot
👍👍 Absolutely amazing place. Breathtaking. Especially when driving from the south side of the island it will appear on the horizon. White sands like from the islands of Oceania. The composition of the color of water, sand and sky really creates the image of a Scottish paradise. Yes ... Scottish! Consid...

Eoropie Beach
Scenic spot
👍👍 This place is incredible! You must come here to see "Eye of Lewis", which is a natural arch. There is parking and a huge play area for kids. There is also a place that shows a map of the area with sites to walk and see. We took the short walk to the beach and it was quiet and beautiful! It is well-m...

Traigh Ghearadha (Gary Beach)
Scenic spot
👍👍 Visited Nov 22. Think I seen 1 other person while I was there ! Fantastic place with amazing geology. Must visit at low tide though so you can access the caves. Parking easy and a short walk to the beach.

Rackwick Beach
Scenic spot
👍👍 So quiet and still....and the high hills all around make you feel small and insignificant - very humbling. Great place to come have a picnic, but I would recommend paying for lunch at the cafes on the island to help boost the local economy.

Cove Harbour
Scenic spot
👍👍 A lovely place. Easy to get to with a car park at the top, it's free but donations for the upkeep of the paths etc are requested (pop a few quid in the box at the top of the path near the gate). We didn't see any marine life but plenty of birds; really the views and the calm of the place were the...

Dunadd Fort
Fortress
👍👍 One of the best forts I’ve been to, actually something to see. Has some spectacular panoramic views from the top, and a great information boards for you to read. The climb to the top is nice, but can be a bit challenging in slippery conditions or for those who struggle with mobility. Would highly re...

Ardessie Falls
Scenic spot
👍👍 Several amazing waterfalls are cascading down. It is possible to swim in the small pools, if you are brave enough. The place is not busy, we barely saw anyone. You need boots, as the path gets sometimes muddy. One of my best waterfall experiences in Scotland.

Randolph's Leap
Scenic spot
👍 Randolhs leap isn't for the faint hearted or people with walking difficulties. It starts off fairly flat then there are some steep narrow paths and it's quite a climb if you plan on doing the full walk around it. There are also parts where there are no fences or safety chains with sheer drops / clif...

Loch Ness Beach
Scenic spot
👍👍 There was no one else there when we went first thing in the morning. As we were staying at Inverness we had to come and see the loch ness monster (no luck though) was an experience to see the great size of this Loch that I have heard so much about. P.s it was only a. Short drive to the Loch from Inv...

Traigh Rosamol
Scenic spot
👍👍 West coast of South Harris is a land of beaches where you need to take your camera, but even if you don't do it, they will remain in your memory for the rest of your days. Magnificent sand dunes behind you, the calm waters of the Atlantic in front of you and a panorama of mountains all along the lin...

Mote Mark
Scenic spot
👍 Impressively large earthwork that was clearly of some significance around the 8th century. Not sure if you can access the motte itself as in the day we went we had shorts on and a local warned us it had become overgrown and there was a risk of mites! The overgrown bit is the path down from the cross...

Angus's Garden
Park
🫤 Not really impressed. We were the only people there. Made the donation to enter. It looks like it's in need of some care. There are various gates and pathways that are in need of attention, but there are wooden walkways and bridges that are dangerous with broken or nearly broken planks. I like the...

'The West Coast is Stunning' Viewpoint
Scenic spot
👍 One of a number of viewpoints along this section of road - all offering fantastic outlooks over hills and lochs. My suggestion would be stop at the least busy spot, or if you’re just out to enjoy the drive then stop at all of them and get a more comprehensive image of the landscape.
