Canisp Mountain and Loch Awe, Inchnadamph, Sutherland. XPL 3861-369


Sutherland, even more remote than Wester Ross, gives the traveller the feeling of going back in time. When driving north from Ullapool it seems like you are entering another country with its strange shaped mountains like Stac Pollaidh, Suilven and Canisp and the feeling of loneliness is very present here. It is hard to imagine this was once a populated area with little farming communities before the clearances started. Words like remote, lonely and empty fit well to this stunning and impressive landscape. Sutherland covers the northern part of Scotland starting from Ullapool on the west coast to Cape Wrath in the far north west and Helmsdale on the east coast.
