Sand River Archaeology Trail
Near Gairloch
The seemingly bleak moorlands north of the Sand River, like many in the Highlands, harbour the remains of centuries of human activities. Here, though, a trail and marker posts indicate a route that helps to make sense of some of the crumbling stones in this lonely place.
Terrain - The route crosses an open hillside of rough grasses and heather. Boggy in places but stone waymarkers help keep you right.
Grade 1
Distance 3km (1.9 miles)
Ascent 82m (269ft)
