Airfields in the Scottish Highlands

Hi

What aircraft type?

There aren't that many private strips in the Highlands but I'd suggest, in no particular order:

Dornoch - Grass (Highland Council)
Easter - Grass - Private, owned by David Munro
Lamb Holm - Grass (Orkney Islands) - owned by Tommy Sinclair
Glenforsa - Grass (Isle of Mull) - operated by Brendan and Alison, Glenforsa Hotel
Oban - Hard (Argyll and Bute Council)
Plockton - Hard
Broadford - Hard (Isle of Skye)

These airfields are in stunning locations and maintained in excellent condition. All information you need should be in Pooleys.

And if you feel adventurous, there are two good beaches, namely Barra and Sollas. Landing on either of these should be on every pilot's bucket list.
