Hill Lochs in Scotland, help needed with a destination please!

[tengisgol]

Hi all, my buddy and I have a week pass for 2013 and fancy a trip to Scotland. Ideally we are looking for a group of hill lochs to explore, preferably a small cottage or similar that we can rent and with a pub close enough to walk to at the end of the day. We don't mind a good walk and a bit of adventure, and we are looking for somewhere a bit wild. Any recommendations at all please guys and girls?

Having holidayed in the Western Highlands since I was very young I can absolutely recommend the Wester Ross area around Poolewe and Gairloch. I stay with relatives but I'm sure a quick Google search will find you a place to stay - I just found this one in case it helps - Holiday Cottages in Poolewe, Gairloch, and throughout Wester Ross

Check in at the local post office/general store in Poolewe where you can join the local fishing club for a week and get access to some beautiful little lochs or also go to the one on Gairloch Pier which has a different range of lochs available to hike or walk to, some with boats and some without but all with beautiful wild brownies and couple with a chance of a sea trout if there's been rain.

Hope that helps for one suggestion. Might even see you up there next summer as I hope to go up again for a week or two.

The Outer Hebridies are a great place to explore, Lewis and Harris offer salmon sea trout and plenty of brownies to be had in season. Uist is more renowned for its larger brown trout. I spend my summers there and can fish for a different species everyday, also great sport is pollock on the fly and can be caught from most rocks!

That is an area I would love to explore sometime - a couple of weeks and a camper van would do me fine.

Hi. I would recommend Drumbeg. It's just north of Lochinver. I went last summer. There is so much water! Split into areas assynt crofters association do week permits for their waters (hundreds of lochs) full of the most fantastic brownies. Boats available at some lochs. Also Lochinver estates offer their lochs and salmon and sea trout at a price. Great tackle shop in Lochinver. Also if you are into it the sea fishing is superb too.
Lots of places to stay in and around Lochinver great pubs and music scene also.
