It is an idyllic location for those looking to immerse themselves in Scotland’s natural beauty.

One of the highlights of the North Assynt estate is its trout fishing, which is considered some of the finest in Scotland.

Boats are also available for hire, providing anglers with a unique perspective and access to more remote fishing spots. Those new to the sport or looking to improve their technique can take advantage of the guided flyfishing tuition open to all ages. The Trust also provides tackle hire and ghillie services for a stress-free fishing experience.

For those interested in red deer stalking, the Trust provides a unique opportunity to hunt in a beautiful and remote location. North Assynt’s rugged terrain and varied vegetation make it an ideal habitat for red deer. With experienced stalkers and guides, hunters can expect a safe and successful trip.

To get to North Assynt by car, visitors can travel 10 miles north from the Tourist Information Centre to Stoer or go west via Lairg Railway Station (55-mile total distance). Whether fishing or stalking, Assynt Crofter’s Trust provides visitors with a memorable and authentic Scottish outdoor experience.
