The trail follows a track leading up to a phone mast, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views over the vast peatlands and glittering lochans that define this remote region. Perfect for nature lovers and photographers, the walk offers a chance to experience the tranquility of the world’s largest blanket bog system and spot local wildlife along the way. Starting just outside the village of Strathy, it’s an easy route ideal for a short adventure in Scotland’s far north.

Getting there: From Strathy, travel west along the A836 and park in the first designated parking area just outside the village on the left-hand side.
