Bettyhill (grid reference NC706618) is a village on the north coast of Scotland.
It lies on the A836 road 30 miles west of Thurso and 12 miles from Tongue. Its principal attractions are the expanse of Torrisdale Bay, The Strathnaver Museum, The Bettyhill Hotel, The Farr Bay Inn and salmon fishing on the River Naver; its now defunct fishing port was formerly called Navermouth.
Bettyhill also has a swimming pool at the local school which is open for public use. The craft shop also serves fish and chips on a friday night as well as having a cafe. There are several lovely empty beaches nearby. The Farr Bay Inn is a great place for a pint.
