Arguably one of the most scenic areas on the north west coast of Scotland, Assynt has a lot to offer that makes it well worth spending time here and explore. Whether you are touring the NC500 or have booked into local holiday accommodation, Lochinver and surrounding areas provide lots of opportunities to have a great day out. When your visit coincides with one of our Made in Assynt Market dates or is even the reason for visiting all the better. Browsing our selection of handmade crafts and produce can easily be combined with walks or activities nearby.
Many of the photos in this gallery were taken by members of the Assynt Camera Club, a group of keen amateur photographers in Assynt and Ullapool. The professional contributors are Chris Puddephatt (Jacksonphotography) and Lewis Matheson (Taigh Solais Photography).
