The regions woodland, a mixture of oak and birch, adds to the beauty of the area, whilst the mountains, lochs and a seemingly endless coastline provide a haven for some of Scotland’s most spectacular wildlife, including golden eagle, pine martin and wildcat. The few towns and villages are found mainly on the coast – and its possible from lovely little fishing villages like Ullapool and Gairloch to sail across to the Isle of Sky. Nine major sea lochs push their way into the interior world of the hills and mountains. These are the Scottish equivalent of Norwegian fjords - Loch Sunart is 30km (19 miles) long. The sides of some plunge 100m (330 ft) below the surface and form Scotland's deepest underwater cliffs. There are also many freshwater lochs: 73 can be counted on a map of the area. With a depth of 310m (1000 ft), Loch Morar is the deepest freshwater body in Britain. Red and black-throated divers and common scoter are among the birds that frequent the freshwater lochs. The surrounding coastal waters are rich in marine life, with the sea lochs acting as important nurseries for fish such as saithe, cod, plaice, sprat and herring.
