ABOUT THE SITE
 
 

Welcome to Lochcarron and the surrounding area. Whilst not as well known as Gairloch, Plockton or Ullapool, it is nevertheless one of the gems of the Western Highlands of Scotland.

This 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 access map 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. More information....
