NWHGeopark

The North West Highlands UNESCO Global Geopark is a Scottish charity and social enterprise dedicated to celebrating, conserving and promoting the region’s internationally recognised geological heritage. Its work is rooted in the communities of Scotland’s north-west coast, a landscape shaped by geological change and inhabited for thousands of years. The Geopark’s UNESCO status recognises collaborative efforts to protect this heritage while encouraging research, enjoyment and sustainable development.

Working with local government, agencies, businesses and community partners, the organisation aims to support a thriving rural economy and strengthen connections between people and place. Its activities include educational and conservation programmes, geo-tourism projects, guided tours, geotours, talks, festivals and events. Visitors can explore geological stories and landscapes through resources such as the Rock Route, the UNESCO National Trail and the Rock Stop Café. The Geopark also offers ways for people to get involved through volunteering, donations, membership as a Friend, and an online shop.
