About First Coast

First Coast perches on the remote northwest Highland coast, reached via the winding A832 through dramatic mountain scenery. Most visitors make the 90-kilometre journey from Inverness, whilst locals pop over to nearby Laide or the stunning beaches at Mellon Udrigle. The name comes from being the first coastal settlement drivers encounter when heading west from the interior Highlands.
