Assynt Overnight Experience

Adventures in Scotland’s Wild North West

Discover a vast expanse of rolling moorland, dramatic mountains, rugged coastline, and countless fresh-water lochans. Assynt is a place of deep geological significance, home to the oldest rock formations and the earliest evidence of life in Europe.

Step into a timeless landscape of unparalleled natural beauty. Free from urban distractions, this wilderness is dominated by towering peaks, tranquil lochs, cascading rivers, and waterfalls that flow into turquoise seas. Marvel at pristine white-sand beaches and jagged cliffs teeming with wildlife—this is one of Europe’s premier locations to spot whales, dolphins, and porpoises.

At the heart of Assynt stands Suilven, The Pillar. With its striking 731m profile, it is one of the most iconic mountains in the UK. Reaching its summit via the dramatic Bealach Mor is as rewarding as the views are spectacular.

Your adventure also includes the chance to summit one of Quinags peaks, a complex and majestic mountain with three summits and breathtaking ridges. From its heights, you’ll take in stunning panoramic views of Assynt’s extraordinary terrain.

Unforgettable Wilderness Escape

This two-night expedition offers the chance to explore two remote peaks and spend your nights relaxing by the beach. Each moment is steeped in the rugged charm of Assynt, where the words of poet Norman MacCaig resonate deeply:

“Who possesses this landscape? The man who bought it or I who am possessed by it.”

Prepare for an adventure that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
