Once owned by the Duke of Sutherland, Oldshoremore and the surrounding area are now part of the Sandwood Estate, a nature reserve owned by the John Muir Trust. Directly west lies Oldshoremore Bay, a sandy beach with a large headland at its northern end known as Eilean na h-Aiteig. The hamlet also contains a car park, toilet facilities, a post box, and a cemetery. A small loch known as Loch Àisir lies to the east.

The nearest good-sized town is Kinlochbervie which lies approximately one mile to the south-east. The hamlet of Oldshore Beg lies to the north-west.

gollark: Uncool watches do. Cool watches use atomic frequency standards.
gollark: I mean, they'll all be using some sort of *oscillator* thingy, but not necessarily an actual *crystal*.
gollark: Do you think they just have a crystal in there for every possible frequency I might set the CPU to?
gollark: Think about it. My computer's CPU has a clock/frequency generator, doesn't it, to... generate clock cycles?
