Balchrick (Scottish Gaelic: Baile a' Chnuic) is a township on the north east shore of Lairg in Sutherland, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.[1]

Balchrick lies entirely within the estate of the John Muir Trust's Sandwood Estate.[2] Balchrick also lies between Blairmore and Sheigra. To the South / South West you can find the beaches of Polin and Oldshoremore.

Just a hundred yards away is the start of the trail to Sandwood Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in North West Scotland.
