Location
WSDMG lies in the north west of the country and is one of a number of deer groups in Sutherland. It includes the Coigach area, which is in Wester Ross. The boundaries of the area are:
- To the north, a line following the Laxford River from Laxford Bridge and along Lochs Stack, More, Merkland, Ghrama and Shin (A837)
- The A839 from Lairg, then the A837 from Rosehall via Oykel Bridge to Ledmore junction, then following the A835 south to Ardmair, and then west along the coastline to Achiltibuie.
- The coastlines of Coigach and Assynt, round Enard Bay then Edrachillis Bay to Laxford Bridge.
The area includes iconic mountains such as Suilven, Canisp and Stac Pollaidh. The villages of Scourie, Kylesku, Lochinver, Drumbeg and Achiltibuie are located within the area.
