About Midfield

Midfield is a remote hamlet located on the north coast of Sutherland within the Highland Council Area, situated a mile south of Tormade Point and just over a mile north of Talmine. Known as a crofting settlement, it is part of the Melness area and lies 4 miles from the A838 and 5 miles from the larger settlement of Tongue. The presence of Achininver Beach and its lodge enhance Midfield's appeal for potential planning applications in this scenic region.
