Stage 7
Brora to Helmsdale
5.5-6.5 hours · 20 km · 620 m gain
Coastal and moorland walking toward Helmsdale on a stage of about 5.5 to 6.5 hours. Remote country, changing weather, and the sense that the north of Scotland is opening ahead.
Helmsdale is a fishing village at a river mouth with a museum and places to stay. Tide times matter on coastal sections nearby - check before you walk.
