| . . . in the
North West Highlands of Scotland, an untamed land of sea and
loch, mountain and glen — magnificent in its grandeur and remote
tranquility . . . |
| . . . and on the western seaboard,
our village of Plockton, in an incomparable location on a sheltered
bay of Loch Carron, surrounded by a bowl of hills. |
 |
This peaceful Highland community in the Gaelic
heartland was once based on fishing and crofting. |
| It now draws artists and photographers from all
over the world, and those who seek something different, something
less packaged. |
| A National Trust conservation village, Plockton
has carefully preserved its heritage, while offering outstanding hospitality
in its hotels and bed & breakfasts. |
| We hope this site will give you a taste
of what we have, but nothing can do more justice to our village than
seeing it in person. We look forward to your visit. |
|
| The ownership of Ard a'Mhormhaich,
the green at Cooper Street and home of the Primary School Sports Day,
has been established. It is owned by a local family, who wish to build
on it. The site has already been fenced. |
| The Higland Council Local Plan, as
a result, has earmarked the site for two Affordable Housing Units,
with the remainder of the land reverting to community use. The owners
wish to fully utilise the site for further development. A Community
buy-out has been suggested. |

| An exhibition of early photographs
of Plockton will be held in the Hall from Saturday 23 through to Friday
29 February. There will be two sections: images by those who lived
in Plockton and images from Dualchas Heritage Service (Duncan MacPherson).
