Within easy reach is the fishing port of Ullapool with its ferry link to Stornoway.
To the south of Ullapool lies the Corrieshalloch Gorge. Here can be found a viewing platform and an information board
overlooking a long, deep box canyon (originally created by glacial meltwaters) with the magnificent Falls of Measach at one end.
Achiltibuie (28 miles) is home to the now famous Hydroponicum.
The sight of lemons, figs, and strawberries flourishing in northern Scotland makes the Hydroponicum an irresistible curiosity
for adults and children.
This giant indoor garden is based on a serious horticultural concern: the owners' passion for soil-free cultivation.
Guided tours show visitors around three different climate zones, growing fruits, flowers, and herbs, and explain the hydroponic
system.
Only 10 miles from the property is the magnificent Gardens of Inverewe.
