Durnamuck is a small crofting settlement, on the southern shore of Little Loch Broom, near Dundonnell in Wester Ross. The west coast of Scotland is known for its mild climate and stunning coastline with sheltered sandy beaches and island views. The unspoilt countryside and traditional communities make this area popular with those seeking a change of lifestyle and Durnamuck is an excellent base from which to enjoy this region. The coast is famous for its sailing, while inland, mountains, moorlands and woodlands offer spectacular scenery, hill walking, climbing and trout fishing on the hill lochs. Little Loch Broom is popular with divers for its clear waters and rich marine life. There is a village shop in Laide some 11 miles distant, and the town of Ullapool lies approximately thirty-two miles away and has a range of amenities including schooling, a Tesco supermarket and a range of independent retailers and eateries. Inverness about an hour’s drive away has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.
