Wester Ross Directions from Inverness
Leave INVERNESS on the A9 as if heading for Wick and cross the Kessock Bridge. Follow the A9 as far as the first roundabout and then take the second exit, the A835 towards Ullapool. Follow this road as far as BRAEMORE JUNCTION where you turn left onto the A832. Continue until you reach LAIDE.

NB: Our Opinan is too small to appear on a lot of maps but there is another Opinan just to the South of Gairloch which does often appear so please do not confuse the two!
