Below is a collapsed list. Please click on the relevant heading to view the
information you require.
-
- There are 2 food shops, one of which is licensed, a butcher, and Post
Office, all within a few minutes' easy walking distance of the cottage.
-
-
Lochcarron has 2 hotels, and the Rockvilla Hotel serves very good
restaurant and bar meals. The Rockvilla also regularly offers 2
traditional Real Ales on handpump, usually from Scottish breweries. The
Rockvilla is located only 2 minutes' walk away from Clisham Guest House.
-
Some 3 miles away is the Strathcarron Hotel which also does good bar
and restaurant meals; this hotel is currently listed in the CAMRA Good
Beer Guide and usually has 2 Scottish Real Ales on handpump.
-
A little further afield are the Carron Restaurant (on the south side
of Loch Carron on the way to Attadale), the Kishorn Seafood Bar (approx.
6 miles away), whilst the inns at Applecross, Shieldaig, and Gairloch
have all won reputations for their excellent food. The Badachro Inn is
also well worth investigating, both for food and Real Ale.
-
- In the Main Street of Lochcarron is the Waterside Cafe which offers
both sit-down meals and take away food.
-
-
There is a branch of the Bank of Scotland in Lochcarron with an
Autoteller (Cashpoint) machine. This bank is normally open on Monday,
Thursday, and Friday.
-
In addition, a Royal Bank of Scotland mobile bank visits the village
every Friday.
-
-
Lochcarron is some 63 miles due west of Inverness (the capital of the
Highlands), and stretches along the north shore of Loch Carron (a sea
loch) after which it is named.
-
A link to a zoomable map is included on
the "Useful Links" Page.

-
-
The quickest route by road for those approaching from the South is
via the A9 from Perth to Inverness, and then via the A832 to
Achnasheen and the A890/A896 to Lochcarron. This is the route used
by most people local to the Lochcarron area when travelling to and
from the south of the UK.
-
An alternative, more picturesque, westerly route can be taken by
using the M8 to skirt Glasgow, and then taking the A82 via Loch
Lomond and Glen Coe to Fort William; thence further north to
Invergarry, and then via the A87 through Glen Shiel, and finally via
the A890/A896 to Strathcarron and Lochcarron. This route is shorter
than travelling via Inverness, but is likely to take longer -
especially as you will probably wish to keep stopping to look at the
scenery!
