capital cities aren't generally very remote
Remote from what Ton? - furthest from a city, furthest from a town, furthest from a road? I few years ago there was only one house between me and the horizon. But I actually wasn't that far from the nearest town

It's not that remote but I live in Glencoe in the Western Highlands. Just over a mile to the village one way and the pub the other. Some people think it's the middle of nowhere which is sort of the point of it

Can this be expanded to which is the remotest inhabited spot in the UK mainland? Any takers on this one?
I`d reckon it is one of the houses up alongside Glen Etive accessed through the forestry from Taynuilt, or Crask Inn in CaithnessPosted 1 year ago # -

I live in Orkney. Its remote in some aspects but I'm a mile from a Tesco's, 5 miles from an airport and have 3 ferry terminals within a 15 minute drive so don't really think of it that way!

TJ- try telling that to courier companies. I'm repeatedly told we're 'offshore' and charged extra. We're on the back road ourselves, 1.5 miles to the A82 in either direction.

I think this building is one of the most remote regularly inhabited buildings in the mainland UK - former YHA, now a privately run hostel (although it was closed altogether for a good few years).
6 miles from the nearest road, only accessible by foot, bike, motorbike or helicopter.

Glencoe isn't remote. Can feel it at times though.

Ha! Skiddaw house. My Mum & Dad used to go up there when they were a'courting, way back in the early 50's. They knew the gamekeeper from Peter House farm & they'd sometimes get a lift in the back of the Jeep he had (or it might've been the shepherd's) Anyway, is it as remote as Alltbeithe YH? Dunno how to do the linky for it.

I'm about 1km from the nearest tarmac road and 3.5km in either direction from the nearest shop, pub or street light.
I'm also about 200m from the nearest mains water.Posted 1 year ago # -
