Boor

Ireland

Boor lies in Wester Ross, reached via the scenic A832 from Inverness through Glen Docherty and past Loch Maree. This remote Highland settlement sits amongst dramatic Torridonian sandstone coastline, with local roads linking nearby Poolewe and scattered crofting communities. The name derives from Gaelic "bodhar" meaning deaf, likely referring to a sheltered bay where sea sounds are muffled by encircling headlands.
