An Àrd

united kingdom

An Àrd is a small Highland settlement 2km from Gairloch in Wester Ross, reached via the winding A832 from Achnasheen. The journey from Inverness takes about 2.5 hours through some of Scotland's most remote terrain. Electric vehicle drivers will find roughly 3 fast chargers in nearby Gairloch, crucial for this isolated location. The name means "the height" in Gaelic, and red deer regularly graze within sight of the village.
