Lochcarron is a pretty village of white-washed cottages on the shore of Loch Carron in the Wester Ross region of Scotland.

Situated on the shore of Loch Carron, this gem of a town in the western Highlands offers peace and tranquillity.

Fuar Tholl

Fuar Tholl is without doubt the finest of the three summits. It has a fine corrie with the best buttress for sandstone climbing in the country. The north western arm of this corrie offers some easy but loose scrambling while the scree slope descending in the corrie to the east of point 895m offers an easy descent back down to the stalkers path.

Strome Castle looking towards Skye

Strome Castle is a ruined castle on the shore of Loch Carron in Stromemore, 3.5 miles south-west of the village of Lochcarron, on the headland between Loch Carron and Loch Kishorn, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.

Plockton Village

Near the seaward end of Loch Carron lies the picturesque village of Plockton. Those choosing the coastal route from Stromeferry to Kyle of Lochalsh via Plockton and nearby Duirinish take longer to reach their destination than those who take the inland road, but the scenery is superb and Plockton is the undisputed highlight. This small lochside village is one of the most attractive in Scotland. A row of neatly painted cottages hugs the shoreline following the curve of the tiny harbour. Across the harbour the views are of white cottages on a craggy point, with the mountains of Wester Ross in the background. It comes as no surprise to find that Plockton is a haven for artists.
