The picturesque village of Lairg is located in the green hills and snow capped mountains of the Sutherland Highlands, on the shores of Loch Shin. The surrounding countryside offers plentiful walking and cycling routes, with Ferry Wood and the Dalchork Forest Trails being popular with visitors. Nearby the Falls of Shin are a famous spot for watching the Salmon on their journey up river. The Ferrycroft Visitor Centre is a great place to stop in, to learn more about the town, and the surrounding countryside.
