Altnaharra Attractions

The wild peat moor to the northeast of Altnaharra is impressive for its size alone. The "flows" are sometimes 16ft/5m wide and flanked by small lakes are a favorite breeding ground for curlews, black and red-throated divers, golden plovers and greenshanks.

For birdwatchers the only time to visit is in spring and summer.

A short distance south of Altnaharra of Syre lies the abandoned Rosail Clearance Village which bears witness to the dramatic changes wrought by the Highland Clearances.
