Lairg
Lairg is a village as well as parish in Sutherland, Scotland. It has a population of 891 and also is at the south-eastern end of Loch Shin. Lairg is unusual in the north Highlands, otherwise distinct, in being a big negotiation that is not on the coastline. Among the reasons that Lairg is somewhat bigger than various other non-coastal Highland villages is its main area within the county of Sutherland. Having 4 roadways which meet in the town, it used to be called "The Crossroads of the North". In the 19th century, it was provided with a railway station, on what is currently the Far North Line. This development implies that the north-west of Sutherland is currently much easier to reach. (The Far North Line links Inverness in the south with Thurso and Wick in the north.).
