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.

including the "Pic of the Day", please see Alexs' excellent
"Lochcarron" website.
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
