Lochinver
Loch an Inbhir
The main fishing village of Assynt, set against Suilven, famous for the handmade pies of Lochinver Larder.
Lochinver is the largest village and fishing port in the Assynt area. It sits at the mouth of the River Inver, with views of the silhouettes of Suilven and Canisp behind it. The Lochinver Larder's handmade pies (venison, seafood and other fillings) are well known across Britain, and many self-drive visitors make a special trip to buy them. The village also has an Assynt visitor centre, a Highland pottery studio and several seafood restaurants. Fishing boats unloading at the harbour mainly bring in whitefish and scallops. From here you can visit Achmelvich, Clachtoll and Stoer Head, or hike up Suilven.
