| Plockton is a village in the Highlands of Scotland with a population of 378 |
 |
| Plockton is a picturesque settlement on the shores of Loch Carron. |
 |
| The village of Plockton in Wester Ross is widely regarded as one of the area's most popular visitor attractions. |
 |
| This peaceful Highland community in the Gaelic heartland was once based on fishing and crofting but now draws artists and photographers from all over the world, and visitors who seek something different, something less packaged. |
 |
| Walking is a good way to relax and the village lends itself to a bit of exploring whether promenading the seafront or at low tide going on to the shore and across to the little island to look for treasure. |
 |
| Slightly more out of the village is the lochside walk to Duncraig Castle (signposted) and the more arduous trek up to the tv mast |
 |
| Beautiful countryside village |
 |
| Most of the houses date from the 18th and 19th centuries. |
 |
| The village is a popular tourist resort, especially because the TV series Hamish Macbeth, starring Robert Carlyle, was filmed there, substituting for the fictional Lochdubh. |
 |
| In Plockton there is a particular quality of light that makes it attractive to artists and photographers. |
