Location

Situated in one of the last great wilderness areas of Europe and on the edge of Scotland's first UNESCO-endorsed European Geoparks, The Overscaig House Hotel enjoys a magnificent south facing location beside Loch Shin in North-West Sutherland.

This is an area of isolated mountains of the world's most ancient rock and boasts the highest cliffs (900ft/270m) in mainland Britain at Cape Wrath and the highest waterfall, Eas-coul-Aulin (600ft/180m) which is only 9 miles from the hotel as the crow flies.

It is also an area with remarkable history and archaeology from the late Bronze Age, through the Picts and the Vikings to the relatively recent 'clearances' when crofters were displaced for more profitable sheep farming.

In addition, today's visitors can enjoy a remarkable range of out door pursuits throughout the area, from golf and sailing to hill-walking and climbing as well as the popular fishing and shooting.
