The Most North Westerly Village On Mainland Britain in the Highlands of Scotland.
Durness is now one of the few remaining places of any size in mainland Scotland that you can only access by single track road.
The road south was completed in 1893, and from the following year there was a daily coach connecting Durness with the railway station at Lairg, some sixty miles to the south east.
