LOCATION
The plots are located within the rural scattered township of Altass, Rosehall and afford access by road to the nearest villages of Lairg and Bonar Bridge in which local facilities are available. Lairg is a small village in the Scottish Highlands, often described as the "Crossroads of the North" because of its central location and good road and rail links across Sutherland and beyond. Nestled on the southern shores of Loch Shin, it's surrounded by dramatic landscapes of lochs, forests, and rolling hills, making it a popular spot for fishing, walking, and wildlife watching. This attractive area is an ideal location for exploring the North and West Highlands and a number of leisure pursuits, including a 9 hole golf course and fishing are available in the surrounding area. Primary school education is available in both Lairg and Bonar Bridge with Secondary pupils being transported approximately 12 miles to Dornoch Academy. Inverness, the Highland capital, is approximately 41 miles from Bonar Bridge.
