The pretty village of Contin lies on the main road west from Inverness at the point where the fertile farmlands of Easter Ross give way to the rugged splendour of the West Coast Hills of Highlands typified by Ben Wyvis, Ben Eigh, Liathach, Torridon, Skye and the close at hand yet spectacular Falls of Rogie, all within a easy reach of the village.
Then onwards and upwards to wilderness of Caithness & Sutherland.

Inverness is 20 miles to the south and a 40 mile drive west through magnificent scenery leads to the fishing port of Ullapool where the car ferry leaves for Stornoway. Contin is a centre of excellence for mountain biking and also offers golf, angling, riding, walking and climbing. 

Dingwall is the main market town just 7 miles to the north east with a wide array of shops and a Tesco super market where you can pre order your weekly shop for delivery to West Lodge prior to your arrival see below.
