Scourie Hotel & Scourie Lodge

This postcard shows Scourie Hotel (left) and Scourie Lodge (far right), with the island of Handa in the distance.

Scourie is located on the road from Kylestrome to Durness, a few miles west of Laxford Bridge. Originally a crofting township, the village is a popular tourist destination for walkers and anglers. It is also renowned for palm trees, growing in the gardens of Scourie House, a result of the warming effects of the Gulf Stream.

The nearby island of Handa is a Nature Reserve with a large population of seabirds which include puffins and guillemots
