Location

These houses are 100 miles (two hours by car) north of Inverness in the small glen of Strathan Skerray. The nearest shops are in Tongue, seven miles to the west.
This is one of the least spoilt areas of Scotland and it yields a spectacular succession of dramatic landscapes. The sea is studded with islands, there are rugged cliffs where many sea birds nest and extensive empty sandy beaches.
The most northerly Palm Tree in the World grows in  Tongue. This might give you an indication of the mild climate we enjoy. Average rainfall is half that on the west coast and at 35 inches a year is about the same as that in Edinburgh. We are sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly winds by mountains over 3000 ft high and we often have much better weather than that forecast
