Assynt Overnight Experience

Uninterrupted by cars and phones monolithic peaks dominate the skyline. Lochs, rivers and waterfalls surround them and flow out to blue seas across stunning white sand beaches and jagged cliff edges. It is one of the best places in Europe to see whales, dolphins and porpoises. The jewel in the crown of the Assynt mountains is Suilven “The Pillar”. At 731m it is one of the most iconic mountain profiles in the UK. A tight rocky ridge leads to the summit from the high Bealach Mor. It is as remote as it is beautiful. This two night stay also gives us the opportunity to summit Cansip at 846m, Suilvens larger sister peak. With over 600m of promance Cansip is a real watchtower over this ancient landscape. Two nights in the wild and two remote peaks. One unforgettable adventure.

The iconic Scottish poet Norman MacCaig said of Assynt: “Who possesses this landscape? The man who bought it or I who am possessed by it”. Its unlikely you will come back the same person after an adventure into this wilderness.
