Heading along the beautiful and dramatic northwest coast of Scotland, up and around the Kyle of Lochalsh, past the famous Skye Bridge you'll eventually come to a wonderful little village that's known as the "Jewel of the Highlands". Plockton is a hugely popular tourist destination with thousands of visitors heading there every year.
It's so popular that many people will take time to divert off the popular North Coast 500 route just to visit it and though you might not have been there you will definitely recognise it. Particularly if you are a fan of the TV show Hamish Macbeth or the 70s folk Horror film the Wicker Man.
This idyllic west coast Highland village has been used as a location for several films due to its incredible scenery and quaint little cottages. Considered to be the ideal base camp for a Highlands trip, due to its close proximity to not only the islands of Skye and Raasay but also the NC500 and the Applecross and Torridon hills and mountains.
