About Achfary

Achfary lies in remote Sutherland, reached via the A838 from Lairg after a 90km drive through dramatic Highland scenery. This tiny settlement sits beside Loch More amongst ancient rock formations and moorland. The narrow roads require careful driving, and EV charging is limited with roughly 3 public points in the wider area. The name derives from Gaelic "Ath Fheàraidh," meaning "Farquhar's ford," marking an ancient river crossing.
