Flower Delivery to Kinlochbervie – A Harbour Village in the North-West of Sutherland

Scattered around the northern shore of Loch Inchard is the village of Kinlochbervie. It's traditionally a crofting community that saw its population increase during the 19th century as other crofters from elsewhere in Sutherland moved to the area.

Much of the industry in the area is based on fishing. Even if there isn't a large fleet of ships in the village, a lot of them (especially from the east coast of Scotland) land their catch in Kinlochbervie. In fact, a large fish handling depot is a dominant feature of the village.

Kinlochbervie also has good road links even though it's location is rather remote and rugged. The scenery of the village is spectacular and is ideal for those looking for a peaceful holiday. And if you like to fish, there are many opportunities for you as well. You can even make the trip a romantic one by giving  Kinlochbervie flowers to your date. But if you cannot find flowers in  Kinlochbervie, you can always order a bouquet online. And that's something we can help you with: through our next-day delivery service, we can send flowers to  Kinlochbervie for you!

HISTORY

Kinlochbervie was traditionally a crofting community. It was only until the 19th century when the village experienced a growth due to the arrival of fellow crofters from other areas in Sutherland. However, a famine occurred in the late 1840s due to an outbreak of potato blight. This led many to leave for the “new world” and thus cause the population and local economy to decline and this was the case until the Second World War.

The late 1940s saw the village capitalise on the North Sea being fished out. As such, they became a fishing port and the 1980s marked a good time for the harbour. The port lands white fish and shellfish and even imports fish from the Faroe Islands.

ATTRACTIONS

Apart from the beautiful scenery, Kinlochbervie is equally great for active outdoor pursuits. Here are some activities that can be done in the village:

Loch and sea fishing – a given knowing the area is dominated by a fish port

Hill walking and climbing – the mountains of Ben Stack, Arkle and Foinaven dominate the skyline of Kinlochbervie.

Swimming – there are a few sandy beaches and bays like Oldshoremore despite much of the coastline being rocky.

Wildlife watching – you can see otters, seals, dolphins and whales around the coastline.
