The north-west Highlands were awarded Geopark status in 2004, in recognition of the area's outstanding geology and landscape. The metamorphic Lewisian gneiss rocks are three thousand million years old, among the oldest in the world, and once formed part of a mountain chain as high as the Himalayas.
NW Sutherland is the emptiest county in the UK and you do not have to go far from the main road to find large tracts of uninhabited spaces. This is a large land with a small population.
