Skelpick is a small remote crofting hamlet in the far north of Sutherland. It stands on the east bank of the River Naver, four miles south of Bettyhill, at the end of the narrow lane that follows the bank of the Naver into the hills. Eastward of the village is the Skelpick Burn, a short stream which runs north then into the River Naver just below the village.
The hills south of the village, where the road does not follow except as a mere track, are full of ancient hut circles, burnt mounds and cairns.
