Lairg
Lairg is a town and also parish in Sutherland, Scotland. It has a population of 891 and is at the south-eastern end of Loch Shin. Lairg is unusual in the north Highlands, otherwise distinct, in being a large settlement that is out the coast. One of the factors that Lairg is slightly bigger than various other non-coastal Highland towns is its central area within the county of Sutherland. Having four roadways which satisfy in the village, it used to be known as "The Crossroads of the North". In the 19th century, it was offered with a railway station, on what is now the Far North Line. This development means that the north-west of Sutherland is currently much easier to reach. (The Far North Line links Inverness in the south with Thurso as well as Wick in the north.).
