Durness: the jewel in the north-west
The link above contains important information for residents
A spectacular and tranquil area in the far north of Scotland, Durness prides itself in being unspoiled by the pressures of modern life and remains a community of traditional values and life styles.
Thinking of visiting? Not yet!
The country is slowly opening up, but not yet. Please don’t travel to Durness or the area. All tourist facilities remain closed: no campsite, hotel, restaurant or cafe. The carparks and off-road areas where mobile homes often parked (even though they shouldn’t) have been carefully blocked off.
In normal times the north highlands is incredibly warm, welcoming, and hospitable, but these are not normal times, and people everywhere feel threatened. Like many places, Durness has 1 shop and 1 doctor (and not every day) . Imagine if they had to self isolate. We are several hours drive from the nearest hospital or supermarket. However well you feel today you could easily be bringing the virus with you.
Please stay at home, and we will welcome you later, with open arms.
The stunning scenery, miles of unspoilt beaches and rugged mountains will still be here, and, we hope, we will too. In these difficult and dangerous times we ask would-be visitors to stay away (as our government instructs) to avoid the unintentional spread of the COVID-19 virus.
