We are travelling up to Inverness next week, staying overnight and taking the train to Wick. We will be hiring a car in Wick and spending a few days traveling along the coast, ending up in Ullapool from where we will take the ferry to Stornaway.
I would appreciate any advice on where to visit (we like walking) along the way. We have booked B&B in Brough and Tonge.
Thanks

Durness, far north west of Scotland, it's absolutely beautiful, make sure you go into the area next to the campsite so you can look down on the bay, stunning with big black cliffs and pale sand beach. Don't miss Smoo Cave when you're up - a nice little diversion.:)Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

There is a craft village near Durness, in an old air base with super little units of crafts and a very nice place to eat. That whole coast is wonderful and you will find lots of places to stop and wonder. I liked Bettyhill and the NTS croft house there.0

You could go to Achmelvich beach in Lochinver...beautiful white sandy beach with the most gorgeous azure waters. Nice hostel nearby too if you overnight.Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heavenMatthew 5:30

Have to agree with Achmelvich and Lochinver area, stunning is an understatement.
Check out this website for further information, I use it if planning a trip.
Cheers............
