N.B.  This post was written in 2015. Much has changed in terms of approved places to stay in Scotland. Please don’t assume it is still ok to stay here.

We stayed overnight in the viewpoint car park just past the golf club.

A popular and beautiful spot with great views over the beach and out to sea. Before leaving Gairloch visit the Mountain Café. Great food, coffee and a good bookshop.
