Known for
The Lochcarron Weavers (producers of the finest Scottish tartans), the beautiful sea loch, the Applecross Peninsula gateway, and a small Highland village of outstanding natural beauty and textile heritage
A little history
Lochcarron village sits on the shores of Loch Carron — one of the most beautiful sea lochs in Scotland. The Lochcarron Weavers mill has been producing tartan here since 1984 and is one of Scotland's principal producers of authentic Highland textiles. The Bealach na Bà — the dramatic mountain pass to Applecross — is accessible from here.
The Lochcarron Weavers visitor centre is fascinating — tartan production demonstrated. The Bealach na Bà over to Applecross is one of Scotland's greatest drives (not for the faint-hearted). The loch walk for extraordinary Highland scenery.
