About Strath Halladale
Strath Halladale is a natural site. Location: Highland, Scotland.
Strath Halladale is a strath in the traditional county of Sutherland in the north of Scotland down which the Halladale River flows to enter the Atlantic Ocean at Melvich Bay. It is followed by the A897 road between Forsinard and just short of Melvich where it joins the A836 north coast road, just east of Halladale Bridge, the lowest road crossing of the river. The headwaters of the river gather within The Flows National Nature Reserve and head northwest towards Forsinard.
