Plockton
Posted in Trips at 12:00 on 19 February 2018
Plockton is a lovely village on the shores of Loch Carron, in the Ross and Cromarty area of the Scottish Highlands.
Its appearance may be familiar to some due to it being used in the filming of the TV series of Hamish Macbeth.
Despite its small population and remoteness it is served by a railway. The Inverness-Kyle of Lochalsh line.

The water was incredibly clear:-
The small island of Sgeir Bhuidhe lies just offshore:-
Duncraig Castle is on the far shore. The castle has its own railway station! (I believe the owner would only allow the railway to be built across his land with that as a proviso):-
