Faraid Head
An enchanting walk across Balnakiel Beach and onto the headland with amazing sand dunes and sea cliffs. A great place to spot Puffins, Whales and other sea life.

Cape Wrath to Sandwood Bay
A breathtaking experience incorporating a visit to perhaps the most isolated beach on mainland Britain, Haunted by the ghost of the bearded sailor.
