There is far more to Sutherland than
its Game Fishing alone. Easily accessible from Scourie Hotel is Handa Island, an
ornithological delight. Boats sail several times a day (in summer) from Tarbet to both
circumvent and land on the island (if the weather permits !). It is owned and managed by
the Scottish Wildlife Trust and is a very important bird reserve providing sanctuary and
breeding colonies for many species. The area is also a mecca for Geologists and sightseers and has a waterfall four times higher than Niagara. Walkers will find gentle walks for the the younger or less energetic as well as more strenuous hikes for the more adventurous. For many, the magnificent scenery and chance to walk in the deserted , rugged landscape is too much to resist which sees them returning year after year. In addition to the above, Scourie Hotel can now offer holiday activity courses for adults, families and young people in conjunction with Cape Adventure Iinternational.
