2017 saw us sell our wee house in Lochinver as part of our move to Orkney. A very sad time for us. We had spent some ten years holidaying there and made many good friends.
Lochinver is situated at the head of a sea loch in a remote corner of the northwest of Scotland. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful and spectacular parts of the country. Stunning beaches, iconic mountains and abundant wildlife make every visit a delight.
The village itself, considering its remoteness, is well served with amenities. Several excellent restaurants (including a Michelin star) specialise in local ingredients, particularly seafood. There’s a great little bookshop and café in Inverkirkaig, where we were always made to feel welcome. Entertainment was provided in the village hall, including international acts that came up from the Edinburgh Festival. Movies are provided by the touring Screen Machine – a cinema in a truck!
Definitely not “goodbye” to Lochinver and we’ll be going back for holidays and keeping in touch with old friends.
