Sands Estate The estate extends to approximately 7156.40 acres (2,896.09 Ha) of land which lies to the east and west of the B8021 to the north of Gairloch.

The estate includes a number of attractive hill lochs with the largest being Loch an t-Seana Bhaile which is situated towards the Southern boundary of the subjects. These hill lochs provide a good amount of amenity and sporting interest. The upper part of the estate provides far reaching views to all directions and particularly to Isle of Skye to the West, An Teallach and the Torridon Mountains to the east and south respectively. The majority of estate is subject to crofting common grazing rights. The common grazings are the Big Sands, North Erradale and Aultgrishan & Aultanphadric grazings. This means there are various parties who have 3rd party grazing rights over the majority of the land (further details on these parties and the common grazings from the selling agent).

Given the acreage of the estate we would point out that the scale of the plan does not allow us to show in detail crofts which have been purchased within these townships and tenanted crofts still owned by the estate.
