The most far flung corner of Scotland is Durness.

Getting here by car or public transport provides few problems with huge investment in Highland roads in recent years, the journeying north from Inverness via Lairg and Laxford takes only just over two hours. The more spectacular journey by Ullapool adds on about another half an hour. Inverness is a major regional centre with direct bus, rail and air links to other Scottish cities and to London.

A direct bus service from Inverness via Ullapool runs in the summer as does a service from Thurso along the north coast.
