The Naismith Hut is run by the Scottish Mountaineering Club and sits in the tiny hamlet of Elphin in Assynt, in the far north-west. It’s a converted cottage with ten beds, a cosy sitting room, gas cookers, a drying room and a shower. Many visitors say it has one of the best views of any club hut in the country, with Suilven filling the window.
Assynt is a different kind of hill country, with isolated peaks rising straight out of a wild, watery landscape. Suilven is the star, and the full traverse is a long, rewarding day. Stac Pollaidh is a short, spectacular outing, and Cul Mor, Cul Beag and Quinag are all within easy reach. If you want Munros, the two furthest north in Scotland, Conival and Ben More Assynt, are a drive away near Inchnadamph.
