About Scourie Filling Station
Scourie is a tiny community on the north-west coast of Sutherland, set against one of Scotland's most dramatic and empty landscapes. The filling station here is a lifeline — between Lochinver and Durness, this is the only fuel available, a stretch of roughly 85 miles of winding single-track road. The village has a small hotel and a shop but very limited facilities. Handa Island, one of Scotland's great seabird colonies, is accessible by ferry from nearby Tarbet.

🚐 Motorhome Tip
Very limited hours and no Sunday opening. This is the remotest fuel point on the route. Never pass Scourie on empty — Durness is 40 miles further north with no fuel en route.
