Taigh na Fraoch, gaelic for House of Heather, is a newly built cottage, designed in traditional highland style. It is situated in the beautiful, remote area of Assynt, on the west coast of Sutherland, just a few minutes walk from the sweeping sandy beach of Clashnessie Bay. The house has lovely open outlooks across the heather moorlands towards the mountain of Quinag and the sea. Photo on right shows view from the garden.

Around two hours' drive from Inverness, it is only around 7 miles from the popular fishing village of Lochinver, with its shops and restaurants.
The area is a nature lover's paradise, offering spectacular rugged mountain and coastal scenery, beautiful and secluded sandy beaches, fascinating geology and a wide range of bird and animal wildlife.
There are National Nature Reserves at Inchnadamph and Inverpolly, in addition to the Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) reserve at Handa Island.
Over 150 miles of footpaths, offer a large variety of walks suitable for all ages and abilities. These include plenty of low-level walks winding between the mountains or along the coast.
Assynt and Coigach also have some of the most dramatic peaks in Scotland - Conival and Ben More Assynt, the highest peaks in the area, are popular with the Munro climbers, while Suilven is probably the best known of the Assynt hills.
Other activities in the area include boat trips, fishing and adventure sports.
