Our take
Glen Dhu is a short walk from Kylesku in a landscape that feels like it should be days from a road. The Assynt gneiss, the sea lochs, the empty sky. A quick escape into deep Sutherland.
Getting there
From the A894 near Unapool, follow paths north along the coast. Allow 1–1.5 hours.
Nearest parking: A894 near Unapool
