Kerrachar, Kylesku, Lairg, IV27 4HP

This property is located in Kylesku, a fishing hamlet in Sutherland within the Highlands, where the local character is shaped by its coastal geography and historic ferry heritage.

Kylesku (Scottish Gaelic: An Caolas Cumhang) is a fishing hamlet in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. Until 1984, it was the site of a free ferry. The name derives from Caolas Cumhann, Gaelic for "narrow strait", which is the channel just to the west of the village that connects Loch Glencoul and Loch Glendubh to Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin. The settlement lies within the IV 27 postal district, placing it in a remote, rural part of northern Scotland. Its coastal setting is defined by the narrow strait and the surrounding lochs, offering a distinctly Highland environment. Residents and visitors can experience the traditional fishing heritage and the quiet atmosphere that characterises this small hamlet. The area’s historical ferry service, which operated until the mid‑1980s, highlights its past importance as a local transport link across the strait.
