Enjoy beautiful mountains & interesting geology
Mountains
Ullapool & Wester Ross offer access to a mighty range of mountains and climbing routes.
Accessible too, are the imposing peaks of Assynt & Sutherland. An Teallach and the vast mountains of the Fisherfield forest to the south compete with the draw to the north of Ben Hope, Ben Loyal & Ben More Assynt to name a few.
Not Munros, but a worthy day out to be had on – Stac Polaidh on the Inverpolly Nature reserve, Suilven, Ben More Coigach & Ben Gobhlach.

Geology
Visit some of the most important geological sites in the world:
Come to Knockan Crag - just a half hour drive north from Ullapool and discover the amazing story stored in Scotland's rocks. Follow Scotland's journey from the South Pole through gripping graphics, cartoons, 'hands-on' interactives, sculptures, games, poetry and the unique landscape of Assynt.
Take a trip north to the limestone caves at Inchnadamph or even further north to the dramatic Smoo Cave.
