Come by the hills to the land
where fancy is free,
Stand where the peaks reach
the sky and the lochs reach the sea;
Where the rivers run clear and
the bracken is gold in the sun
And the cares of tomorrow can
wait ‘til this day is done.

A WILD LAND
This
website describes a selection of walks in the far north of Scotland. Our
area is bounded on the west by the River Naver and on the east by the River
Halladale. There is a narrow, thinly populated northern coastal fringe
but south of this is one of the last remaining areas of true wilderness
in Europe. The mixture of hill, moor, coast, estuary, beach, cliff, mochair
and loch has a diverse and unique flora and fauna as well as fascinating
geological and historical features. The walks have been chosen to offer
a variety of terrain and interest to the discerning visitor to this lesser
known area of Scotland. There is also some supporting information about
attractions and amenities .
Come by the hills to the land
where fancy is free,
Stand where the peaks reach
the sky and the lochs reach the sea;
Where the rivers run clear and
the bracken is gold in the sun
And the cares of tomorrow can
wait ‘til this day is done.
