Tour Scotland early Autumn travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive on a single track road, with passing places, on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Clashnessie Bay in Assynt, Scottish Gaelic: Asainn, in the Sutherland Highlands. This road is only wide enough for one vehicle. It has special passing places. If you see a vehicle coming towards you, or the driver behind wants to overtake, try to pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite a passing place on your right. Give way to vehicles coming uphill whenever you can. If necessary, reverse until you reach a passing place to let the other vehicle pass. When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip. The township, the old Scottish term for a crofting village, is scattered around the sandy beach of Clashnessie Bay and derives its name from the Gaelic clais an easaidh, meaning glen (clais) of the (an) waterfall (easaidh), referring to the waterfall at the head of the shallow glen in which most of the houses stand. Although 100 miles north of Inverness, the village's micro climate is generally mild, due to the closeness to the Atlantic Ocean Gulf Stream. Situated ten miles north of Lochinver, Clashnessie Bay is a clean, quiet and beautiful beach. With a rocky inlet and a big sandy shore, the beach is a fabulous adventure for children and full of things to explore.
