About Elphin - Planning Applications & Local Development

Elphin is a charming crofting township located in Assynt, Sutherland, approximately 15 miles north of Ullapool. The village features essential amenities such as a telephone box, a post box, a tearoom, and accommodation options including a small caravan site and self-catering facilities. Although Assynt Primary School closed in 2001, its building has been repurposed as a community hall managed by the Elphin Ledmore and Knockan Community Association, providing a hub for local activities.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Elphin area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
