This walk in North-West Highlands of Scotalnd takes you to the the Falls of Kirkaig which occupy a lonely spot in the Inverpolly Nature Reserve in Assynt. The nearest village is Lochinver. The surrounding countryside is wild and unforgiving in poor weather so chose a fine day after heavy rain to see the falls at their best.
