ローヤル湖でののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The boggy struggle to get to the bottom of the mountain is very much part of the experience! This is a wild and raw part of Scotland.

The view to the abandoned farmstead of Cunside with Sgor Chaonasaid rearing up behind it is spectacular. When you also consider the isolation and the boggy terrain you come to realise just how hard it must have been trying to live here.

A wonderfully airy rocky tor at the top of a steep grassy climb. It gives great views and it's a long way down!

This is near the start of the steep climb up to Sgor Chaonasaid.

The summit of a truly iconic mountain in Sutherland. It's distinctive shape can be made out from the Kyle of Tongue, and from further away at places such as A Mhoine. It's isolated position means it gives expansive views in all directions.

Short climb, great view

The castle’s precise origins and age are unknown, but it is believed to be over one thousand years old1. It is thought that the Mackays may have built their castle on the site in the 14th century, on top of an existing old Norse fort1. The walls are generally 1.4 metres (5 ft) thick, or thicker, and have been built from roughly squared blocks of metamorphosed sandstone rock of varying thickness, laid in rough courses of random depth.
