Coldbackie
Coldbackie is a crofting township in Sutherland, Scotland. Coldbackie lies at the head of the Kyle of Tongue, two miles north east of Tongue. Coldbackie sits under the Watch Hill, looking north over a spectacular beach to the Rabbit Islands. It is one of series of crofting townships, running from Tongue, through Coldbackie, StrathTongue, Dalharn, Blandy and Scullomie to the desterted township of Slettel that sit on the eastern fringes of the Kyle of Tongue. The Watch Hill is modest in height, 1008 feet, but boasts dramatic Old Red Sandstone conglomorate cliffs, and fantastic views along the North Coast of Scotland, from Durness to Orkney.
