1 / 16The Old Surgery
Kinlochbervie, Highlands
A former doctor's surgery turned two bedroom cottage for four in the fishing village of Kinlochbervie, with an enclosed back garden, sea views and two dogs welcome.
The owner of The Old Surgery remembers sitting in its waiting room as a child. For much of the twentieth century this was the doctor's surgery for Kinlochbervie, a fishing village in the far northwest of the Highlands, and it has since been renovated into a small, comfortable, dog friendly cottage for four, with two dogs welcome.
It is all on one level and kept simple. There is an open plan kitchen, dining and living room, a double bedroom, a twin room, a shower and a utility room with a washer and tumble dryer, which earns its keep after a dog has been through a few Sutherland bogs. Treats for the dogs come in the welcome pack.
Behind the house the garden is enclosed, with seating, and the owners set it up with dogs in mind. From the house you look down over Loch Inchard to the harbour, a working fishing port where boats come and go at all hours. The Old Surgery suits walkers, two or four of them, who want to be out all day and fall asleep to the sound of the harbour, the dogs curled up by the heater.
Oldshoremore Beach is close by, pale sand and clear water, with Polin and little Sheigra beyond it, and from Blairmore a track leads out to Sandwood Bay, one of the most celebrated beaches in Scotland, all of it on John Muir Trust land and a long walk out for the dogs. Durness and Kylesku are both within reach for a day's drive.

Walk5.1 mi awaySandwood Bay from Blairmore

A remote 6.5km moorland approach rewards with what many consider the finest beach in Britain, a 2km arc of pink sand framed by dramatic sea stacks and with virtually no human infrastructure whatsoever.
Beach6.4 mi awaySandwood Bay
Highlands
One of Britain's most magnificent and remote beaches: a vast arc of sand backed by dunes and the sea stack Am Buachaille, accessible only via a 4-mile moorland walk with dogs welcome all year on a lead, as the John Muir Trust asks on this working crofting estate.
Walk8.1 mi awayHanda Island Ferry Walk
Highlands
A short ferry crossing unlocks one of Scotland's most important seabird reserves, with extraordinary cliff-top wildlife and a circular island walk; dogs are not allowed on the ferry or on the island, so this is a trip to do without your dog.

Highlands
A small, sheltered sandy beach near the abandoned village of Rispond on the north Sutherland coast with year-round dog access and an isolated, peaceful character.
