Leac Lodrabrie is a prominent coastal feature located in Ross-shire, a historic county in the Scottish Highlands. It is a headland that juts out into the North Sea, forming a distinctive point along the rugged coastline.

Standing at an elevation of approximately 100 meters, Leac Lodrabrie offers a commanding view of the surrounding area. Its cliffs, made up of sedimentary rocks, provide a striking backdrop to the crashing waves below. The headland is primarily composed of sandstone and shale, which have been eroded over time to create fascinating rock formations and caves.

The area surrounding Leac Lodrabrie is rich in biodiversity. The headland is home to a variety of seabirds, including guillemots, kittiwakes, and razorbills, which nest on the cliffs. It also serves as an important habitat for marine life, with seals and dolphins often spotted in the waters below.

Access to Leac Lodrabrie is relatively easy, with a well-maintained footpath leading visitors to the headland. The path offers numerous opportunities for hikers and nature enthusiasts to explore the area and enjoy the stunning coastal scenery. However, caution is advised due to the steep cliffs, and visitors are advised to stay on designated paths for their safety.

Leac Lodrabrie is a captivating coastal feature that showcases the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Its dramatic cliffs, diverse wildlife, and breathtaking views make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a true coastal experience.
