Lochinver (Loch an Inbhir in Gaelic) is a village on the coast in the Assynt district of Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. A few miles northeast is Loch Assynt which is the source of the River Inver which flows into Loch Inver at the village. There are 200 or so lochans in the area which makes the place very popular with anglers. Lochinver is dominated by the "sugar loaf" shape of Caisteal Liath, the summit peak of nearby Suilven.

Have been driving round here for most of my life , scenery is world beating , you cannot go fast , roads are narrow and twisting, so you can appreciate the views, take your time, have a local map so that you can see what you are looking at , you will probably decide to come back and visit one of the points you viewed! Loads of different interesting visits to take in.

We have been making our unique collection of quality pottery to use and enjoy, in Lochinver, for over 40 years. Each piece is entirely made and freehand painted by exceptionally skilled craftspeople. Visitors are welcome to look round the pottery and watch whatever processes are going on(more can be seen on weekday mornings!). You can also buy from our shop and our outdoor mosaics make a fantastic photo opportunity!
From the 'sculptures' outside made from broken crockery to the staff hand painting stoneware inside, we found our visit interesting. The staff working were kind enough to answer our questions about the pottery and glazing process.

How refreshing to see a path laid out for folk with different mobility issues (and in the heart of the Highlands). This is a lovely area with a network of well maintained paths ideal for a walk of perhaps an hour or two. The scenery is varied with lochans, streams, moorland and wooded areas. There are a couple of lovely little bothies well placed to shelter from the rain or enjoy a picnic. At the time of our visit the toilet facilities were locked on account of the Covid 19 problems. There is car parking for perhaps ten cars at the main entrance. If you are looking for a shortish, safe and easy walk in a lovely environment this should suit you very well. There is no charge to enter but donations are welcomed.

This was the highlight of the NC500 without doubt. A stunning white sand, blue water beach and we stayed a the lovely campsite next door. This had a super little shop and amazing fish and chip shop. Would definitely return!
