Plockton, a charming Highland village nestled on the North West coast of Scotland, lives up to its nickname, "The Jewel of the Highlands."  Situated by the shore of Loch Carron, Plockton offers stunning views and a mild climate due to its sheltered location and the North Atlantic Drift.  Established in the early 1800s as a planned fishing village, Plockton boasts mostly 19th and 20th-century houses, adding to its unique character.

Take a scenic stroll down Harbour Street, lined with charming buildings and offering breathtaking views of Loch Carron.  Head to Frithard Road for panoramic vistas that will leave you speechless.  Explore the waters around Plockton on a boat trip and spot seals in their natural habitat.  A visit to the nearby Eilean Donan Castle, a popular filming location, is a must for any history or movie buff.

For a touch of retail therapy, explore Plockton Shores, offering a well-stocked selection of wines and whiskies.  Art lovers can visit The Studio, an artist's gallery showcasing gifts, cards, artwork, and local jewelry.  Home in the Highlands is the place to find clothing, accessories, and home decor items.  End your day with a delightful meal overlooking the loch at Plockton Inn, or head to The Clachan, a traditional Highland pub in the nearby village of Dornie. For a truly unique experience, visit Dun Brewing (The Dun Inn), a brewery with an on-site tap room serving organic vegan beers and snacks.
