Lochcarron is one of the most scenic villages in Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands. For an idyllic country cottage holiday or rural retreat break it would be hard to find a more scenic setting. Set by a loch against a backdrop of hills with majestic mountains in the background is the pretty village of Lochcarron. Lochcarron is still to a large extent a well kept secret and hidden away in part of the Highlands which is off the main tourist track. With lochs, glens, rivers and the mountains of Applecross and Torridon nearby it would be hard to find a better example of true Highland beauty. Just relax and take it easy whilst on a Scottish self-catering break or enjoy some country pursuits like walking, climbing, fishing, boating or wildlife watching available in the local area.
