Location & Outdoor Adventures
From the doorstep of Mike’s Cottage, a world of Highland adventure awaits.
Whether you seek a challenging hike, a peaceful paddle, or a scenic drive, you’re perfectly positioned to explore.
Hiking & Forest Walks:
The trail up to the Fyrish Monument is a local favourite—steeped in history and rewarded with incredible views once you reach the top. If you’re after something gentler, a peaceful wander through Couhill Wood is just the thing. Expect birdsong, dappled light, and that unmistakable forest calm.
Mountain Biking:
The trails around Evanton, Loch Glass, and Meall an Tuirc offer the perfect mix of challenge and scenery. With rolling climbs and sweeping views, you’ll get your heart pumping and your camera working overtime.
Wild Swimming & Paddleboarding:
There are a few lochs just a short walk away where you can slip into the water or glide along on a paddleboard. It’s a lovely way to cool off, unwind, and feel completely off the grid.
Fishing:
For a slower pace, try casting your line into the River Alness. It’s well known for salmon and sea trout, and even if you don’t catch anything, the peaceful surroundings make it well worth the time.
Coastal Explorations:
A short drive opens up the stunning Moray and Cromarty Firths. Spend a day discovering famous beaches like the vast sands of Dornoch, the sculpted sea caves of Shandwick, or the dolphin-spotting shores of Cromarty and Rosemarkie.
