The hamlet is on the A836 road, close to its junction with the B873. The nearest villages are Lairg and Tongue. Lochs in the area include Loch Naver and Loch Eriboll. The name Altnaharra is derived from the Scottish Gaelic Allt na h-Eirbhe, meaning Stream at the boundary wall. This is named after a stream that flows through the hamlet. Altnaharra is famous for the Altnaharra Hotel, which opened in 1820 and quickly became a popular place for anglers to stay while visiting nearby lochs. The hotel was also popular with mountain climbers; it generally closes for winter and re-opens in March. Ben Hope and Ben Klibreck are two mountains in the immediate area of the hamlet. Weather stationAltnaharra has a Met Office weather station. The village's northerly latitude and inland location mean that in winter it often features in the daily weather extremes for the United Kingdom. It is unusual in that the coldest month of the year is normally December. On 30 December 1995, the UK's lowest temperature ever was recorded there, at −27.2 °C. This matched a similar recording at Braemar in the Grampians on 11 February 1895 and on 10 January 1982. On 20 March 2009, it was recorded as the warmest place in the UK, at 18.5°C, which was the station's warmest recorded March temperature and possibly the first time the station had recorded the warmest UK temperature.[2] This was beaten on 25 March 2017 when the station recorded 19.7°C. Also on 26 May 2017, the station recorded its highest May temperature of 28.0°C beating the previous 27.4°C recorded on 27 May 2012.[3][4] On 8 January 2010, the temperature dipped to −22.3°C, the coldest temperature recorded in the UK since 1995.[5] On 3 November 2015 the warmest November temperature of 16.1°C was reached,[6] followed by 15.6°C on 17 December 2015 being the warmest December temperature on record at the weather station.[7] On 25 January 2016, the highest January temperature of 13.9°C was reached.[8] {{Weather box|location = Altnaharra |metric first = yes |single line = yes |width = auto |Jan record high C = 13.9 |Feb record high C = 13.6 |Mar record high C = 19.7 |Apr record high C = 24.5 |May record high C = 28.0 |Jun record high C = 28.4 |Jul record high C = 30.1 |Aug record high C = 29.2 |Sep record high C = 25.3 |Oct record high C = 21.7 |Nov record high C = 16.1 |Dec record high C = 15.6 |Jan record low C = -22.3 |Feb record low C = -25.0 |Mar record low C = -21.7 |Apr record low C = -10.0 |May record low C = -6.4 |Jun record low C = -3.1 |Jul record low C = -1.0 |Aug record low C = -2.0 |Sep record low C = -4.0 |Oct record low C = -9.7 |Nov record low C = -22.1 |Dec record low C = -27.2 |year record low C= | Jan high C = 6.2 | Feb high C = 6.6 | Mar high C = 8.3 | Apr high C = 10.9 | May high C = 14.1 | Jun high C = 16.0 | Jul high C = 17.8 | Aug high C = 17.7 | Sep high C = 15.5 | Oct high C = 12.0 | Nov high C = 8.6 | Dec high C = 6.1 | year high C = 11.7 | Jan low C = -0.8 | Feb low C = -0.8 | Mar low C = 0.7 | Apr low C = 2.1 | May low C = 4.0 | Jun low C = 7.1 | Jul low C = 9.7 | Aug low C = 9.3 | Sep low C = 6.8 |Oct low C = 4.5 | Nov low C = 1.8 | Dec low C = -1.3 |year low C = 3.6 | Jan rain mm = 142.4 | Feb rain mm = 108.4 | Mar rain mm = 115.9 | Apr rain mm = 74.5 | May rain mm = 60.8 | Jun rain mm = 60.2 | Jul rain mm = 61.1 | Aug rain mm = 66.7 | Sep rain mm = 106.5 | Oct rain mm = 139.4 | Nov rain mm = 127.7 | Dec rain mm = 132.7 | year rain mm = 1196.3 | Jan rain days= 19.1 | Feb rain days= 17.3 | Mar rain days= 19.1 | Apr rain days= 15.0 | May rain days= 13.0 | Jun rain days= 13.0 | Jul rain days= 12.4 | Aug rain days= 14.4 | Sep rain days= 15.9 | Oct rain days= 20.0 | Nov rain days= 18.9 | Dec rain days= 18.1 | year rain days= 196.2 |source 1 = Met Office 1981-2010 averages[9] |source 2 = En.tutiempo[10] |date= October 2016 }} Notable persons
