The Salmon fishing station at Badentarbat Bay, Achiltibuie. Wester Ross. Scotland. XPL 3835-367
Achiltibuie is just the best known of a number of small settlements around the coast of western end of the Coigach Peninsula. Following the road north west past Badentarbat brings you to Polbain and Altandhu, complete with Coigach's main harbour at Old Dornie, in the sheltered passage between the peninsula and Isle Ristol. Further on, a side road takes you to the scattered settlement of Reiff, while the main road crosses the peninsula to Achnahaird and its beach and camp site. Achiltibuie and the Coigach Peninsula are not for those who like their Scotland neatly packaged in shops selling tartan dolls waving Saltires. This is the north west of Scotland as it used to be twenty or thirty years ago, before they blasted new roads out of bare rock and painted white lines down the middle of them. Yes, you have to make an effort to get here. But you should catch it while you can.
