Mellon Udrigle

Welcome

A hamlet in Wester Ross at the end of a single-track road from Laide, with a white-sand beach.

Clear white sand, dunes and mountains in the distance make it a popular spot for photographers. The mountains that can be seen from here include Coigach, Stac Pollaidh, and An Teallach. For those with an interest in history, there is also a hut circle constructed by the ancient Picts. It is located in one of the sand dunes on the beach. The villages of Opinan, Achgarve and Laide are close by.
