Keoldale Standing Stone is the perfect viewpoint to take in the beautiful Kyle of Durness. The standing stone sits above the beach and is easily accessible from the road. It was erected as a millennium project by the Durness Youth Club.

An unspoilt section of coast with lovely beaches and good views and a remote feel.

The A838 road runs along the eastern shore of the kyle in its southern section, with an unclassified road leading to Keoldale, the only remaining settlement on the shore. The Cape Wrath passenger ferry operates from Keoldale between May and September providing the only access to Cape Wrath from the east. Land to the north of Keoldale is used by the Keoldale Sheep Stock Club, a joint farm run by crofters in the Durness area. Beaches along the shore of the kyle are backed by narrow machair with few dunes.
