Commanding beautiful views of the sea and the hills, the self catering cottages and lodges are just 12 minutes walk from the 2 miles of sandy Brora beach and are situated in the quiet crofting community of Dalchalm which lies 1 mile north of Brora.
There are a number of other beaches to explore in the area all of which are clean and easily accessible. The village of Brora is located one hour north of Inverness and an hour and a quarter south of John O` Groats. This makes for an excellent and central base from which to tour the Northern Scottish Highlands.
There is much to offer the visitor here, most notable is the majestic and breathtaking scenery.
The rugged grandeur is both beautiful and overwhelming. Sutherland truly is one of Scotland's best kept secrets and really has to be experienced at first hand. It is a county where wildlife abounds, where you can see Peregrines, Golden Eagles, Red Kites, Buzzards, Hen Harriers, Merlins and Sparrowhawks. There are also a number of Osprey pairs nesting here and it is not uncommon to share your walk on the beach with the local Otters and Seals. There are some fabulous herds of wild Red Deer within a few miles and if you pick the right time of year you may even see the salmon leaping. This is truly a haven for an exceptional variety of wildlife.
Of particular interest to you in picking a holiday destination is the fact that Sutherland boasts one of the lowest rainfalls in the UK. Here on the east coast we are particularly blessed with less MIDGES that most other Scottish destinations - clearly this makes for a more enjoyable holiday!! In a nutshell, this is the kind of place you do not want to leave in a hurry.
There are many single track roads in the area, meandering for several hundreds of miles. Passing places are well placed at every quarter mile or so. The scenery on these roads is breathtaking so make time to explore the Scottish Highlands and create your own unique adventure.
There is little traffic on these roads but if someone is following you do be courteous and let them pass at the next passing place, you never know it could be a doctor or nurse on call.
