Getting there

The Yurt is situated on our croft which is accessed via an unpaved track (approx. 300m) then a walk across our croft (approx. 100m). There is no vehicle access directly to the Yurt. At the road the track is signposted ‘Ri-Aulaidh’. The address is; Ri-Aulaidh, Cuaig, Strathcarron, IV54 8XU.

If you arrive between 10-5.30 Tuesday to Saturday please come to our Croft Wools weaving workshop and we can direct you to the Yurt from there. The workshop is situated beside the road. It is a wooden building with a red roof and clearly signposted. If you arrive outside of shop hours please go down the track and through the gate and to the main house.
