We have a special combination of the world famous Torridon Mountains, a coastal location and a beautiful, picture postcard fishing village with a shop & pub. The perfect honeymoon destination perhaps, a place to chill out and get away from the stresses of life or maybe enjoy some serious outdoor activities; there are many reasons to visit.

Shieldaig Main Street is a conservation area on the edge of a sheltered sea loch - Loch Torridon, in the North West Highlands of Scotland, within an area known as Wester Ross. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty and one of the last wildernesses in Europe. You can be out in the hills all day & see no sign of man & meet no-one.

The only roads into the village are single track with passing places which adds to the charm of the area. These are roads you have to drive and having got all the way here, plan to spend a reasonable time savoring the very unique & special feel the area has. 2 nights here only gives you 1 full day to enjoy the majesty of the mountains. Many of our guests under estimate travelling times in the area & wish they had given themselves more time to explore. The region stretching from Ullapool down to Mallaig & the Ardnamurchan peninsula is reckoned by many to be the most spectacular in the country.

The West coast climate is mild in general - thanks to the Gulf Stream; at Inverewe Gardens they successfully grow many tender plants & palms. We do get snow on the mountain tops from October to May, creating incredibly beautiful and photogenic scenery. At sea level there is usually minimal snow. We get distinct seasons with really long days in the summer, a fantastic area to visit at any time of the year. Red deer are a daily sight, especially in colder weather.

We are about 1 and a half hours drive west from Inverness, approx 65 miles. From the south we are about 2 and a half - 3 hours from Fort William, around 110 miles. Ullapool is about 2 hours away. Inverness airport is about 2 hours away.
