My family and I enjoyed our visit today. Didn’t have a chance to see leaping salmon but liked the falls and tge walking trails. Also enjoyed a good coffee at the cafe with some cake.

A wonderful place to stop. The parking payment service is a mess. They use Ring Go which didn’t work when we were there. But once parked and paid we had one of the best coffees and cakes of our trip. We went down to the falls and were fortunate to see salmon attempting to swim up the falls. Once in a lifetime experience to see for us city folk

The walk is a little steep , Beautiful place , chances to see salmon beautiful surroundings a very large car park with a play area , cafe , toilets

Look out for the cameras taking your reg and locals park for free but everyone else has to pay .Bollocks to falls of shin . Only good thing was the walk doon to see the mighty salmon jumping up the falls .The restaurant was closed .very clean toilets 50p a go .

Walked the riverside trail but were disappointed as we didn’t spot any salmon leaping. Had lunch at the Salt and Salmon Company then walked back to the zigzag path overlooking the car park. We stood patiently and saw about 15 salmon leap within 45 minutes at the falls. Probably not all salmon, a few were quite small. Visited 26th Oct.

We were there maybe 10 minutes and saw 3 salmons leaping. Amazing place

Great watching the salmon leap. We stayed overnight in our campervan. Nice peaceful night but very over priced. Everything is an extra charge on top of parking fee.

Assynt the most beautiful place in Scotland

Stopped here along the way on the NC500. It’s one of the most unique Lochs I came across on my travels with its surrounding hills, waterfall and shoreline castle and Laird’s house. Absolutely worth stopping by if you are in the area and if you are travelling by motor home or camper I think it would make for a wonderful overnight location so you can catch the sun setting or rising over the loch. If you brave the climb into the upper floors of the castle ruin you can capture some commanding panoramic views of the loch.

If you already heard about the amazing North 500 route which runs alongside the lovely Loch Assynt, then you can probably guess what a spectacular lake, Loch Assynt is. I think that it's a fairly small Lake compare to other famous Loch's around Scotland, but it is in my opinion certainly one of the nicest and most beautiful freshwater lakes in Scotland. Well, I'm afraid that anything or everything I would say about Loch Assynt won't be justifying enough, because the scenery all around that you get to enjoy in front of your eyes, is stunning and overwhelmingly fascinating. From the lake to the mountains to the magnificent trees and gorgeous landscape. All I can really say is, that this is nature at it's best and it's a must place to visit if you are touring Scotland. I went down through these beautiful gray rocks at the lakes shore unto these unbelievable amazing little islands and there is really nothing like enjoying nature's pure atmosphere.

Oh my gosh, this is worth a quick look. Stunning spot. Dip your toes in the water with the loch fisheys!

Lovely Loch in the middle of dramatic scenery. Worth pulling over for a few minutes to take it all in. Also, a lot of low level flying is done here so you might find an F-15 or similar zooming overhead

Beautiful area Assynt. It is well worth the effort involved to get there -at least 5hrs drive from the central belt. I went there for some trout fishing. Fishing is very affordable and easy to obtain. Mckays chandlery in Lovhinver is the place to go for permits and advice on fishing. There is a local fly fishing guide service too @Assyntflyfishing well worth looking up. Hundreds of lochs and some rivers too. Brown trout mainly with migratory salmonids in some lochs and rivers. Some places more accessible than others so need to plan where to go and how to get there. Fishery maps are helpful but bring an OS landrenger map No.15 The scenery and wildlife are amazing. I camped at achmelvich it is a lovely spot with great facilities on-site. Would recommend a visit for anyone who fishes you won't be disappointed. Tight lines.

Lovely place to visit the weans loved running about and exploring and had a beautiful day to have some lunch while we were there

Great place. Lots of hands on things for kids. History of area well presented. Small cafe is nice and the lady who works there is friendly, welcoming and engaging - made us feel very welcome. Outside the play park is good. The maze wasn't quite grown but I'm sure will be great once it is. We ventured on the walk up the hill and this too is well set out. Definitely recommend a visit to this venue. We hope to visit again when in the area.

Very disappointed not to be admitted with my dog on a lead. Travelled 20 miles to visit the centre and noted the sign dogs permitted on leads only, just to be sternly refused entry. No wonder there are not a lot of visitors here.

This is an excellent place we were glad it was open. It is an information centre with a small shop which is well stocked. There is also a cafe and toilet facilities. The lady on duty was very chatty. One other thing is the story of Lairg which was very interesting to read and learn about. There are two walks you can go on, one by the Lairg Dam and the other goes away up the hill with great views of Loch Shin and Lairg. If you are in the area make sure you take a wee detour and visit this place it really is worth it.

Very reasonably priced souvenirs, lovely coffee and cakes , and a wonderful person at the till to have a chat with. Looking forward to visiting again!

Nice coffee stop, gift shop and clean toilets

We've been coming here for years, such a beautiful spot and a great walk perfect length for littles. Dog friendly too. The path is well maintained and there's lots to see. The first part of the wander is through the woods and up the Loch then you go out into the open and get some amazing views. It is such a lovely walk!

Interesting place to visit in Lairg. We were recommended to go by our campsite host, as there is a new exhibition about a recent discovery of a asteroid striking the area (1200 million years ago). Local children have made some lovely posters, that can be seen on the path to the centre entrance. The display inside is very informative and describes how the crater was found and how it was formed. We also read the local history of how Lairg was founded and developed. There's plenty to see and do especially for youngsters, both inside and out and admission is free.
