Blethering Ben - 68 - Return to Sandwood Bay
Four miles from the nearest road, Sandwood Bay in NW Sutherland takes some beating for setting. With a mile of sand, a freshwater loch, a romantic ruin, towering cliffs, a rock stack, huge Atlantic breakers and even a resident ghost....it is considered by some to be among the finest, least spoilt beaches in the whole of the UK.
I first visited in 2003 when I camped above the dunes and walked to Cape Wrath. It was a key 'wilderness' experience in my life, and so 13 years later I make an overdue return to Sandwood to see if the beach is still as wonderful as I remember it....

Places to see in ( Durness - UK )
Places to see in ( Durness - UK )
Durness is a village and civil parish in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. It lies on the north coast of the country in the traditional county of Sutherland around 120 miles north of Inverness. The area is remote and the parish is huge and sparsely populated covering an area from east of Loch Eriboll to Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point of the Scottish mainland. The population is dispersed and includes a number of townships including Kempie, Eriboll, Laid, Rispond, Sangobeg, Leirinmore, Smoo, Sangomore, Durine, Balnakeil and Keoldale.
The area has been inhabited since stone age times and there are many places of historic interest. Durness was formerly a part of the bishopric of Caithness and the old house at Balnakeil was originally the bishop's summer residence. The church at Balnakeil dates back to the Culdean monks but the existing ruined church is said to have been built by the monks from Dornoch Cathedral in the 13th century. On Faraid Head is Seannachaisteal, presumably a broch, but it is now completely enveloped in sand and no dig has ever been carried out to see what it was and from which time in history. A few years ago, the body of a young Viking boy was discovered exposed by the erosion of the sand dunes at Faraid. At Sangobeg beach, the body of a Pictish boy was discovered.
At Ceannabeinne lies Clach a Breitheanas or the Judgement Stone. This was said to be where judgement was meted out to malefactors and those found guilty were thrown over the cliff to their doom below. The parish of Durness was for centuries a part of Dùthaich MhicAoidh, the land of the Clan Mackay, who held their title to the land extending from Melvich in the east to Kylesku in the west.
The main sources of employment in the village are crofting and tourism. It is the largest village in the northwestern corner of Scotland, has a population of around 400, and is on the A838 road. It is located on the north coast between the towns of Thurso 72 miles (116 km) to the east) and Ullapool 68 miles (109 km) to the south. This area is notable for being the most sparsely populated region in Western Europe.[citation needed] Until some 50 years ago, Durness was a predominantly Gaelic speaking area.
Tourists are catered for by a campsite spectacularly sited on the cliffs above the beach (with easy access down to the beach), an SYHA hostel, housed by some converted army buildings, bed and breakfast accommodation and two hotels and restaurants, Mackay's and the Smoo Cave Hotel. The village is also used as a base by visitors to Cape Wrath.
The main attractions in Durness are Smoo Cave, a conjoined sea cave and freshwater cave with a small river running through it and a waterfall in wet weather, unspoilt beaches backed by cliffs and the local sea birds, seals, porpoises and minke whales. The surrounding coastline is some of Europe's most isolated and spectacular, with the nearby Clo Mor Cliffs being the highest on the British mainland, at some 922 feet (281 m) high.
Balnakeil Old Church, is a scheduled monument with the grave of Donuill Mac Morraichaidh, a serial bandit and murderer, inside one wall of the church so, it is said that his enemies couldn't walk over his grave. The area around Loch Croispol and Loch Borrallie abounds in archeological interest, from brochs to round houses to medieval and pre-clearances settlements. The Balnakeil Craft Village can be found approximately one mile outside Durness and is a collection of former MoD units dating from the 1950s, which now house various independent shops.
Durness is on the A838 road. This links the parish to the A836 at Tongue to the east and loops around the coast through Rhiconich near Kinlochbervie to meet the A836 again north of Lairg to the south. The road is single track along most of its length. Bus services are sparse in the area, although one bus a day links Durness with the Far North railway line at Lairg railway station. This provides rail services north to Wick and south to Inverness.
( Durness - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Durness . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Durness - UK

Called Foinaven (Foinne Bhein)-Ganu Mor in the highlands of Scotland Assynt.It is quite close Durness and it can be very difficult
To climb in wet conditions.Ganu Mor is 911 metres high.The walking routes up Foinaven Foinne Bhein Ganu Mor is walked from either the north or coming from the South side of Foinaven passing loch na Tuadh and following the flanks of arkle mountain. Foinaven and arkle are made up of Cambrian Quartzite
And the scree becomes very slippery in wet weather conditions. The walk either starts from Strath Dionard Gualin House From The A838 Road. And the main ridge can be walked or hiked by a steep and rough climb. A faster steep route back is down the north ridge side.Another is by the Bealach Horn i by using the track and path from Lone on Loch Stack near ben stack whos path is on the opposite side of the road. The distance to Foinaven trig point is 12 miles approximately and can take 9 to 10 hours depending on your fitness and navigation skills. The views from the ridge of Foinaven is fantastic with panoramic views of
Arkle Mountain and Meall Horn and ben stack,loch stack Cranstackie and Beinn Spionnaidh mountain's.
Scotland's mountain's are the most stunning in the uk in all weathers.A very long day would be to tackle Foinaven and Arkle or to wild camp
And you will find plenty of good spots to youre wildcamping in these special mountain's.Foinaven and Arkle terrain is shattered quartz
And should not underestimate the dangers of bad weather that can change at any moment, so a map and compass should always be at hand for those occations.

FOINAVEN TRAVERSE
FOINAVEN TRAVERSE
The views afforded to trekkers on the ridge of Foinaven must be amongst the finest in any mountain areas in Europe. Here the weather retains an oceanic quality. Mountain walkers with enough luck to track along these summits in excellent visibility will have the sight of Atlantic clouds travelling with them on all sides. The tawny hillsides and their shark-fin backs form the impression of a gigantic harbour for the sky itself.
Foinaven, I am told, equates to 'white mountain' in Gaelic, for the quartzite makes the tops a light grey. This colour distinguishes it from the peaks of Sutherland rising to the south.
The decision was made to carry tents and make the traverse of Foinaven into an overnight expedition. Looking at the map, the same objective could be attained in a single day. One option involves taking the track through Strath Dionard, past the fisherman's hut and ascending from the eastern slopes. Descent would follow back into the same glen. The second route in consideration was a direct path from the Durness road to the first top Ceann Garbh. This approach would leave out the most difficult knock and lochan country, although the moors to be crossed are still, essentially, boggy land without any track. This route would mean having to retrace one's steps along the main ridge.
The weather forecast fair, our party concluded the best proposition to be a circular walk from the Lone Bothy by Loch Stack. Our route went up the ridge around the back of Arkle, Foinaven's sister mountain. After a steady move up the incline to the southernmost top, we gained the main ridge near the bad step of Cadha na Beaucaich.
The climb down into the pass is a good scramble in the dry. If the wind got up and the cloud closed in, it would be viable to take advantage of the small shelter on Cadha na Beuacich. Yet it is only sufficient accommodation for one adult, being, effectively, a large cairn with the centre hollowed out. The air was still when we were there - for most of the year this diminutive edifice must be an essential windbreak for prevailing south westerlies. Mist came down soon after passing Lord Reay's seat and from then on, the clouds walked with us, level with the ridge. We bypassed the crumbling buttress slightly below the cliff edge, and the mounted the incline to the midpoint of the ridge.
Here we obtained fine views of the forlorn cliffs of A'Cheir Gorm. An unexpected delight were the rose-coloured quartzite flanks of Conamheall directly to the east. They glowed like distant snowfields. There was also the unmistakeable ridgeback of Ben Hope, rising like a stegosaur over the moors south of Tongue.
The clarity of the air in midsummer allowed us a fair prospect of Cape Wrath and the northernmost coasts of the Outer Hebridean islands.
Four and a half hours of walking had taken us from the forgiving terrain of peat sludge upland, into the quartzite rubble bedecking the ridge. One would be hard pressed to increase the variety of terrain encountered on this route. One's boots crunch on frost-shattered rock, and at the steepest sections one's eyes are brought up close to the quartzite crystals themselves, interlocking tightly, bleeding with ferrous minerals.
From the main top of Ganu Mor, our party descended through grass and scree to a small shelf. Camp was set up and dinner cooked as the sun seemed to set near to midnight. The next day it was a rough descent and difficult navigation through lochan and knock to the hotel at Rhiconich. There, there were two options, to walk back along the road to Laxford Bridge and onwards to Loch Stack, or to avail oneself of a passing car. Many German and Dutch drivers are in the area (to visit one of Britain's four corners) and provide a likely ride. The hitchhiker's conquest of Foinaven will supply the tourists with more than enough engaging conversation for the ten-minute drive back to the expedition's starting point.

Blown Away, By the North Coast 500 route, Scotland
The route that circles around Scotland’s top north highlands has always been there, but never got a name, until not so long ago. Now, known as the North Coast Route 500, this natural itinerary moved in the limelight, and was nicknamed Scotland’s Route 66.
This may sound daunting, but we have just been on a trip that strikes the perfect balance between planning and spontaneity, and is not to mention one of the most beautiful places we have ever encountered.
If you want to take it easy and spend time at every attraction, you’ll need 7 days and a cheap car rental, and that’s all it will take to experience a whole new world
Some great spot you’ll find along the road:
Day 1 Some spectacular sights, starting in the northernmost city in the UK, called Inverness. Bordered by rolling hills and castle ruins at Loch Ness, it’s as beautiful as it is mysterious.
Stop at the Dunrobin Castle is just as beautiful. Everything about it, the gardens, spires and turrets makes it look like a castle that comes straight out of a fairy-tale, while Disney looks dismal in comparison.
Just a short drive away is the Carn Liath, a prehistoric structure that takes you back to the iron age when it was originally built. Only 19 metres in diameter, it’s easy to get a real sense of the place and admire it in its entirety.
DAY 2: Brora to Thurso
Wake up early and do a little bit of exploring in Brora, known for its golden sandy beaches and array of sea life. Dolphins, Minke whales and seals are regular visitors.
Grey Cairns of Camster. These rare Neolithic stone tombs are definitely worth a visit. They hold immense historical value that were built over 5000 years ago, unveiling many secrets of that time.
Characterized by immense cliff stacks, this impressive path leads to the remote Duncansby Head lighthouse. Perched on the corner of a sheer drop.
Port Lybster is a fun stop over for who lover lighthouses.
DAY 3: Thurso to Durness
Scotland is scattered with hundreds of these historical ruins, of both enchanting castles and landhouses. Another one to look out for is Castle Varig, which is well worth a short hike up a neighbouring hill that offers the best viewpoint of the castle, and a nearby loch.
Secondly, an assortment of wildlife tours that take you to the perfect vantage points, where you can view the stunning local Puffins up close.
Durness: the best artisan chocolate in all of Scotland, at the Cocoa Mountain Café and Chocolatier, and when paired with one of their famous coffee blends, you may just want to stay here all day.
Smoo cave is truly exceptional, making it onto our list of top 5 experiences along the NC 500. It’s unique in that it’s formed by two caves, one fresh-water cave and one sea-water cave, linking together as one. The entrance has been formed by the action of the sea, whereas the inner chambers are freshwater passages, and if you dare enter the cave, you’ll be rewarded with the sight of a spectacular waterfall.
DAY 4: Durness to Ullapool
Achmelvich beach is by far the best place to chill, with its soft white sand and pristine clear blue waters that could easily match those of the Maldives (except for the temperature).
DAY 5: Ullapool to Torridon
Ullapool is a popular holiday destination for the Scots, and although it’s relatively big and touristy, it has its own unique charm that’s worth experiencing. When the crowds get too much, jump back into nature to see one of the natural wonders of the Highlands - Corrieshalloch Gorge.
DAY 6: Torridon to Strathpeffer
Torridon boasts some of the most picturesque landscapes we’ve had the pleasure of seeing with our own eyes, and the perfect finale to a memorable trip. Wake up early and let the sunlight reveal it to you.
Once you’ve had a chance to take it all in, head over to a peninsula called Applecross, made up of small-scale food producers. It’s relatively unknown to tourists and is home to a number of gems if you take the time to explore the community.
Then to end the roadtrip off on a high, take a turn onto the Bealach na Ba road, meaning “The Pass of the Cattle”. This is by far one of the most impressive roads in the UK, with remarkable views of , the whole of Skye, and the Islands of Rum and the Outer Hebrides while the road wind towards Strathpeffer.
DAY 7: Strathpeffer to Inverness
Waking up in Strathpeffer, knowing it’s your final day, can’t help but make one feel slightly heart sore. However, there’s nothing quite like a spa day to make you feel better, and it just so happens that that town is known for its Spas.

Blethering Ben - 86 - The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph
'The Bone Caves of Inchnadamph' sounds a bit like a Hammer Horror film but they are in fact one of the most important sites in Scotland for prehistoric animal remains. The bones that were unearthed here have long since been moved to local and national museums, so I walked up to the lonely crag knowing full well that there'd be nothing to see other than the caves themselves. But after spending a couple of hours up on the crag, with the entire glen to myself, I was surprised to discover the place still has an atmosphere all its own.

Blethering Ben - 20 - Ignoring John O'Groats
Everyone has heard of John O'Groats but a great many people who make the pilgrimage there inevitably leave disappointed. Famed as the most northerly or most northeasterly point on the British mainland, in fact it's neither. The honour of the former goes to Dunnet Head, while the honour of the latter goes to Duncansby Head, and that's the subject of this short film where I show just what many of the John O'Groats pilgrims sadly miss out on.
