Homefield is situated in the pretty coastal Hamlet of Sheildaig on the west coast of the Applecross Peninsula.

Shieldaig is one of the most picturesque villages on the west coast of Scotland, set on the shores of Loch Shieldaig with sweeping views towards the Torridon mountains. Established in the early 19th century as a fishing settlement, the village has retained its traditional charm, with white-washed cottages lining the waterfront and fishing boats moored in the sheltered bay.

The area is renowned for its dramatic Highland scenery and wildlife with Shieldaig Island, just offshore, being a protected wildlife haven. The surrounding coastline and hills provide excellent opportunities for walking, climbing, kayaking, and wildlife watching, with chances to spot eagles, otters, seals, and even dolphins nearby.

Despite its peaceful, unspoilt character, Shieldaig has a strong sense of community and a small selection of well-loved local amenities, including a welcoming pub and cafés. There is also a Primary School in the village.
