Bettyhill Attractions
Like many other coastal settlements in Sutherland, Bettyhill owes its existence to the Highland Clearances.
Strathnaver Museum in the old village church in Bettyhill describes the devastating consequences of the land clearances. Also on display is a traditional Highland cottage, which gives some insight into the everyday life of the crofters before they were evicted, and clan memorabilia belonging to the MacKay family.
