Opinan is a quiet, friendly crofting community 10 miles from Gairloch.

The Old School House served as the village school from around 1870 until 1963. In the early 1980’s it was converted to a substantial dwelling house.

Situated in it’s own large garden some 500 yards from Opinan Beach it is a peaceful retreat with magnificent open views over the surrounding area.

It is an ideal location for hill walking, bird watching, fishing or just having a very relaxing holiday.

Clean, sandy beaches are nearby, while Red Point, with it’s beautiful unspoilt clean beach, is some three miles distant.

Golfers will enjoy the excellent 9-hole golf course in Gairloch.

Visitors who prefer a relaxing holiday will discover a unique tranquillity and peace in this rugged paradise.

The surrounding countryside has a rich variety of wildlife.

Within easy reach is the fishing port of Ullapool with its ferry link to Stornoway.

To the south of Ullapool lies the Corrieshalloch Gorge. Here can be found a viewing platform and an information board overlooking a long, deep box canyon (originally created by glacial meltwaters) with the magnificent Falls of Measach at one end.

Achiltibuie (28 miles) is home to the now famous Hydroponicum.

The sight of lemons, figs, and strawberries flourishing in northern Scotland makes the Hydroponicum an irresistible curiosity for adults and children.

This giant indoor garden is based on a serious horticultural concern: the owners' passion for soil-free cultivation. Guided tours show visitors around three different climate zones, growing fruits, flowers and herbs, and explain the hydroponic system.

Only 10 miles from the property is the magnificent Gardens of Inverewe.
