North of Scotland in October
19 Answers
Morning all.
Anyone know how bad the snow gets in October on the North-west coast of Scotland? Planning a trip up there to a reasonably remote cottage. Not fussed about getting snowed in too much, more that I'll fling the car off a mountain in the snow? Or be defeated by the first hill we come across covered in snow!
Thoughts? Advice?
Ta,
Spare.

North of Ullapool - perhaps near Lochinver? If so, you must eat at the Lochinver Larder - excellent pies, both savoury and sweet. The butchers there does local venison which you can slow-cook in Orkney Dark Island beer to make a beautiful rich stew. They also sell fresh crowdie, lovely at breakfast on toast with some heather honey. The Lochinver Visitors Centre is excellent. There is a really good long easy-walking track from Lochinver towards Ledmore Junction that takes you past Suilven. I envy you - nothing better than a day out in the highlands, returning late afternoon to relax in your cottage with some local shortbread and a cup of tea, and of course a tumbler of single malt - I recommend Highland Park - while it turns dark and blustery outside.
