About Achavanich

Achavanich is a small Highland settlement in Caithness, accessed via the A99 coastal road that forms part of the North Coast 500 route. The village sits in Scotland's far north, where moorland meets dramatic clifftops along the North Sea. Electric vehicle drivers will find approximately one public fast charger nearby, though longer journeys require careful planning in this sparsely populated region. The settlement is renowned for its Bronze Age stone rows, ancient monuments that have stood on the windswept moor for over 4,000 years.
