The northern Highlands of Scotland is one of the few landscapes which is still largely unaltered by human interference and on this western edge of the mainland, the wildness has shaped an environment which is at once beautiful and dramatic and offers the opportunity to enjoy nature at its best. There are beautiful walks direct from the house, most notably a walk across the croft and the coastal grassland dotted with herbs and wildflowers to the beautiful sandy beach at Armadale Bay. In the wider area, there are challenging mountain climbs, wide sandy beaches popular with surfers, and high quality salmon fishing, as well as RSPB and Nature Scotland reserves which protect our rarest native wildlife and flora only seen in this part of the UK. The village of Bettyhill is about six miles away and has an excellent village shop, filling station, cafes and primary and secondary schooling. Further secondary schooling is available in Thurso for which there is a school bus. A further range of shops and facilities can be found in Thurso and Tongue. Inverness is about 2.5 hours’ drive away and has all the facilities of a modern city along with its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.
Murray House, which was purchased by the current owners in 2018, has comfortable and recently renovated accommodation. There is solid oak flooring with insulation on the ground floor and high quality fittings in the kitchen and shower room, while the sitting room and kitchen fireplaces feature the original stone openings. There are beautiful views from the windows across the croftland to Pentland Firth, Armadale Bay and distant mountain ranges.
