| Sitting on the east side of a sheltered promontory
(ploc) at the seaward entrance to Loch Carron, Plockton is bounded on the north
by the peninsula of Applecross, on the east by the unroaded tracts of Attadale and
Glenaffric, on the south by Glenelg and the equally remote Knoydart, and on the
west by the Isle of Skye. |

| Rail |

At the end of the nineteenth century, before the age of the motor car, the building
of the world-famous Kyle of Lochalsh railway line ended the area's reliance on sea
and track access. Three trains a day from Inverness make their way through Plockton
Station on the famous Kyle Line. |
