Some changing views
from Plockton Cottages |
|
 |
 |
 |
| “We think your cottages are really
first-class. The view from the dining area is spell-binding.
. . we had to keep reminding ourselves to eat.” Mr
& Mrs Tait of Durham on Kishorn Cottage |
|
| “Jenny, Lachie & I would like
to thank you for our wonderful stay in October. We all agree
that Plockton was the highlight of our holiday. We plan to visit
Scotland in a couple of years and will certainly contact you
for accommodation.” Charlie
Butler, Australia |
|
“We are looking forward to our
5th year at Plockton Cottages, where else can you enjoy home
comforts, unsurpassed and ever changing views, spending breakfast
time spotting otters, seals, deer, and numerous sea birds from
the dining table. (Don't forget the binoculars, they are more
important than the breakfast!)”

Plockton
sits on the world-famous Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh line, one of
the most scenic journeys you'll take. In the summer, four trains a
day (two on Sundays) pass through the rugged and remote landscape
of the north-central Highlands, emerging onto the sea lochs of the
west. Get timetable information and book online at The
Trainline, with more information at Kyle
Line. Inverness itself is well served from the Scottish cities
and England. |

The
Scottish Highlands are served by Inverness
