Lochcarron village makes an excellent site from which to explore some of the most
beautiful and romantic scenery in the Highlands of Scotland. In fact we
believe this area has some of the most magnificent scenery to be found in the
whole of the British Isles.
As well as breathtaking views, there is abundant wildlife including otters, seals,
pine martens, porpoises, and many sea birds. Many of which can be seen from the
cottage if you are lucky enough.
Stretching for 2 miles along the north shore of the deep sea Loch Carron, from which the
village derives its name, Lochcarron has a resident population of about 900.
Lochcarron provides all necessary local amenities. These include :-
Two food stores, two petrol suppliers, two churches, a butcher's, a Post Office,
two pub / hotels with restaurants, a café offering takeaway meals, a bank (with
Cashpoint), three garages, 2 dentists, and a medical centre.
For more creative retail therapy there are craft shops, a wood turner's, pottery manufacturers, a
heritage centre and the internationally famous Lochcarron tartan weavers.
