The joy of renting a car is that you can go where you want, when you want. Make the most of your newfound freedom by discovering all that there is to do in Gairloch. It’s just 25 miles away. Redpoint Beach, Big Sand Beach and Gairloch Beach alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you toward Isle of North Uist, 45 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Taigh Chearsabhagh. (But we’re also huge fans of Tràigh Bhàlaigh and Balranald RSPB Reserve.)
