On the west coast, the Island of Handa has spectacular seabird colonies. Back on the mainland Eas Coul Aulin has the highest waterfall in Britain. Between the fishing port of Lochinver and the town of Ullapool there's a choice of routes - the coastal offers sea views across a pattern of rocky islands - the faster main road goes via the mountainous landscapes of the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve. Ullapool, on Loch Broom, is a ferry port with a good range of services and museums.

South is the deep, wooded ravine of Corrieshalloch Gorge and Inverewe garden (at Poolewe) has exotic plants and trees that display colour all year because of the warm, frost-free gentle climate that comes from the Gulf Stream. Nearby Gairloch has a Heritage Museum and a range of restaurants. The mountainous scenery around Glen Torridon is spectacular as is Kintail to the south. Near here, on the shores of Loch Duich is Eilean Donan Castle (backdrop to the movie Highlander).
