| Assynt is the area south of Kylesku in West
Sutherland, and is a land of mountains, rocks, lochs, wildlife, highland
crofts, unspoilt coastlines, and a rich natural and cultural
heritage.
Experience some of the most dramatic and remote
scenery in Europe as the roads
wind around the isolated mountain peaks, passing through traditional
crofting communities, and along spectacular coastlines. |

Quinag and Suilven provide a wonderful backdrop to many views.
