Lochcarron, Wester Ross
Lochcarron is undoubtedly one of the gems of the North Western Highlands of Scotland.
Whilst it may not be quite as well known as Plockton, Gairloch or
Ullapool, this very beautiful part of Wester Ross abounds in some of the most
magnificent scenery in the British Isles with the mountains of
Applecross and Torridon, rivers and glens, lochs and villages such
as Applecross, Kishorn, Lochcarron, Shieldaig & Torridon, looking
out to the Western Isles and the Atlantic Ocean. If you are not sure
where we are, our "How to Get
Here" section includes a map which
will help you to find us.
There is an abundance of wildlife, climbing and walking are
superb, boating and sailing are expanding, we are proud of our
Shinty Team
and fishing in rivers and lochs is catching! For those
interested in diving, another magnificent world of marine life
exists beneath the waves. The waters in and around Loch Carron are
particularly noted for their superb clarity making it an ideal place
for underwater photography. Art Courses are available in the area
and you can search out your ancestors in this land full of Clan
History. If you play golf, Lochcarron has its own 9-hole course in a
superb loch side location and visitors are very welcome. For railway
enthusiasts, we have the famous Kyle Line which featured as one of
Michael Palin’s “Great Railway Journeys of the World”.
All around the UK farmers' markets have sprung up to provide
locally sourced produce and crafts and Lochcarron is no exception.
Our
Producers'
Days are held periodically throughout the year in the
Village Hall and are proving increasingly popular.
