Property Location: Plockton,
Ross-Shire

With
wonderful views across Loch Carron towards
Duncraig Castle , this traditional stone
holiday cottage is set in the heart of the
National Trust village of Plockton.
Refurbished to a very high standard, it
overlooks the harbour and has its own secure
hillside garden to the rear, as well as a
lochside garden across the road.
Thriving
as a result of the influence of the North
Atlantic Drift, many palm trees adorn the
area, giving the village an almost
Mediterranean feel.
Yachts and
dinghies sail past leisurely, and together
with the pretty flower-filled gardens of the
houses lining the shore, and the brilliance
of Plockton’s light effects, the village has
become something of a haunt for artists, who
can often be seen busy at their easels.
Plockton’s claim to fame arrived in the
mid-1990s, when the BBC selected the village
as the setting for three of its series of
the television drama Hamish Macbeth.
Originally Plockton was a crofting hamlet
until the eighteenth century, when it became
prosperous as a small fishing port and
prawns are still landed at the old pier.
Seal spotting and fishing trips can be
arranged from here, and the village boasts a
fine selection of inns serving seafood
specialities.
Apart from
the village of Plockton itself, the National
Trust also oversees the Lochalsh Woodland
garden on the Balmacara Estate, and the
medieval ruins of Strome Castle. Close by is
the former Jacobite fortress of Eilean Donan
Castle, one of the most photographed castles
ever. A picture of enchantment, it is
situated at the meeting place of three lochs
and joined to the mainland by a causeway.
Within a
few miles also are the magnificent Falls of
Glomach, tumbling down a sheer drop of
750ft. Applecross and Wester Ross are
nearby, with the Isle of Skye bridge,
6 miles. Hill walking, fly fishing and water
sports locally.

This
beautifully renovated, stone holiday cottage
is perfect for a quiet relaxing break or as
a base to enjoy wonderful scenery and
exhilarating outdoor pursuits. Regarded by
many as the most attractive village in the
West Highlands, Plockton is quiet through
most of the year but is a popular
destination for visitors in the summer
months, particularly during its long
established, small boat sailing regatta
fortnight in August.
The
property is situated in a charming row of
150-year-old fisherman’s cottages in a quiet
end of the village and enjoys a lovely
enclosed front garden right on the water’s
edge with stunning views over Loch Carron to
the mountains beyond. Locally landed seafood
and Plockton brewed ale can be enjoyed all
year round in several nearby inns and
restaurants.
There are many fine low
level and coastal walks in and around the
village where otters and birdlife can be
spotted. For the more active, sailing,
kayaking, mountain biking, fishing and hill
walking are particularly popular with
Torridon and Kintail only a short journey
away.
Plockton is an area with interests
for everyone. Visitors can enjoy the
romantic Eilean Donan Castle, the Lochalsh
Woodland Garden at Balmacara maintained by
the National Trust, or the remote coastal
settlement of Applecross reached by a
memorable journey over the highest road in
Scotland.
At nearby
Kyle of Lochalsh is the bridge over to the
beautiful Isle of Skye which boasts
spectacular mountain, cliff and seascapes
and some unique geological formations. From
there, take a boat trip to spot seals,
dolphins or whales or to visit the elusive
and magical Loch Coruisk in the heart of the
Cuillin mountains. Visit the Talisker
Distillery or one of the many artist studios
or enjoy a meal at the world famous Three
Chimneys restaurant. Swim and picnic at the
enchanting Fairy Pools. This is just a few
of the many things to see and do while based
in Plockton.

In a
breathtaking setting by a small loch and
only half a mile from the golden sweep of
sandy beach at Applecross, this cosy,
secluded cottage for two commands stunning
views across the Sound to the islands of
Raasay, Rona and Skye beyond.

hillside, it is just half a mile to
Applecross for a hotel renowned for its
excellent food, and a shoreline perfect for
swimming, fishing or just relaxing.

fine walks along this beautiful coast;
eagles, eider duck, mergansers and other
sea-birds can be seen in the bays, as well
as seals and otters. Amazing scenic drives

With
superb views across the Inner Sound to the
Inner Hebridean Islands of Raasay, Rona and
Skye, this 19th-century holiday cottage has
been architecturally renovated to a high
standard, and has its own landscaped garden
with decking leading down to the seashore.
Set amidst
some of Scotland’s most dramatic and rugged
scenery, Applecross nestles between
mountains and sea and is approached over
Britain’s highest road pass. Wester Ross has
long been considered one of the more remote
corners of the British mainland – and is
still known as a haven of enormous beauty
and tranquillity; Applecross was declared a
sanctuary in 673 AD by the Irish monk
Maelrubha. The region is home to the golden
eagle and pine marten – and the last
remnants of the ancient Caledonian pine
forest.
To the
north is the Beinn Eighe National Nature
Reserve (Torridon mountains) where the NTS
Countryside Centre provides opportunity to
explore the flora, fauna and history of this
sheltered fertile area amidst some of the
oldest geological formations in Britain.
Also north
of the Applecross Peninsula are the
world-famous sub-tropical Inverewe Gardens,
and to the south the picturesque NTS village
of Plockton and the Isle of Skye.
The area
provides excellent coastal walks and
abundant wildlife – seals are frequently
seen in the indented coastline, and stags
roam the heather-clad hillsides of the
Applecross Peninsula. More occasionally
porpoises and even the mysterious profile of
a submarine lurks in the Inner Sound.
Rockpools left behind by the tide provide a
great variety of creatures for children to
discover.
Beautiful
sandy bay within 5 miles (see bottom
photograph). Mountaineering,
kayaking and landrover trips can be arranged
locally. The award winning Applecross Inn,
renowned for its locally caught seafood and
convivial hospitality, is just 10-minutes
walk away.

furnished and commands stunning sea views
over Loch Shieldaig and the sea.
Seals and

views can be enjoyed and for keen walkers
there are plenty of interesting walks to be
found, including climbing in the Torridon
Mountain Range.
The
cottage is reached via a short rough road
from the village where a pub, two shops and
a restaurant can be found as well as boat
hire.
Trips to the beautiful city of
Inverness are easily accessible and the
village of Plockton, home to the popular
television series Hamish Macbeth is just a
short drive.
The Isle
of Skye is well worth the visit and is
accessed via a bridge over the Kyle of
Lochalsh. Applecross is another village not
be missed, it is an idyllic place where
visitors can wander along lanes banked with
wild iris and orchids, and explore beaches
and rock pools on the shore. It is also an
adventure travelling to Applecross, where
some of the most breathtaking scenery in
Scotland can be seen with panoramic views
across the Minch to Raasay and Skye.

this former school house has been tastefully
converted, whilst retaining interesting
original features; formerly classrooms, the
living-room and kitchen feature lovely high
ceilings, and there is a large picture
window in the hall, ideal for viewing
wonderful sunsets and abundant wildlife.
This is a
superb location for touring the scenic
Applecross and Torridon areas; for a truly
memorable drive out, head for the Pass of
the Cattle – at 626 metres above sea level,
this is Britain’s highest pass and affords
some dramatic scenery along its length.
There is excellent walking and climbing
terrain nearby, both inland and along the
rugged coastline – watch out for seals and
otters just off shore.
Several
NTS properties make for good days out,
including Strome Castle, and the Countryside
Centre at Torridon (open May to September),
the latter providing an insight into local
flora, fauna and geology. From Torridon
village, a scenic drive takes in the
shoreline before winding past cliffs and
gorges up to Diabaig, whilst 8 miles to the
north, Lake Maree is dotted with Caledonian
pine clad islands and lies as a scenic gem.
The surrounding area also offers some of
Scotland’s best deer-sighting country.
Sandy
beaches are to be found at Sand (3 miles)
and Applecross Bay (7 miles); the village of
Applecross itself has a P.O./local store and
a friendly inn serving fresh seafood dishes.
The
sheltered, fertile coast around the village
is idyllic: you can wander along lanes
banked with wild iris and orchids, and
explore beaches and rock pools on the shore.
