Overview

The views from Ben Bhraggie are well worth the effort with views of the surrounding hills and coastline. The top of Ben Bhraggie is home to a massive monument to the Duke of Sutherland, known as ‘the mannie’ locally. From the top we then descend through open moorland and then alongside a gorge back into Golspie. A varied walk with lots to see!
