Bay of Clachtoll, Sutherland
"An elegant confusion pours
A whole Atlantic on these shores.
Where seapods crack and pebbles cry
And sand grains whisper trundling by."
Norman McCaig – “Clachtoll”
The name Clachtoll comes from the Gaelic words "Clach" (a rock or stone) and "toll" (a hole) and probably refers to the famous "Split Rock" at the entrance to the bay.
The Bay of Clachtoll is an oasis of white sand and turquoise sea set in the rugged and rocky terrain of Assynt.

Location: view from Clachtoll on the B869 road between Lochinver and Drumbeg
