Achiltibuie

Inverpolly Nature Reserve

If you're fit, go up Stac Pollaidh and along its delightful ridge - or if only moderately fit, go around Stac Pollaidh into the Inverpolly Nature Reserve.

Nearer and very striking is Ben Mor Coigach. These Torridonian sandstone mountains are not high, even by Scottish standards, but the rock is extremely picturesque and forms delightful shapes.

This is the nearest point to access the Summer Isles, which lie opposite Polbain. A boat goes from Bardentarbet pier reached by going north from Achiltibuie and not taking the Ullapool turning.

Achinhaird is fantastic, between the village and Stac Pollaidh.

Rock climbing in rieff offers a huge range of routes that tend to be overgraded slightly so good for the ego.
