There are countless activities to choose from in the area surrounding Plockton. Hillwalking is hugely popular attracting visitors all year round, whatever the weather. We are a good base for walking trips to the Cuillins of Skye, the Five Sisters of Kintail, the Cluanie Ridge or the Torridon Mountains. Less-experienced walkers may be interested in purchasing Ian’s walking guide, an introduction to the hills of this area which is published and sold for
Macmillan Cancer Support; please ask at the bar. If you fancy
something a little less strenuous there are numerous
gentle walks with some stunning 
views around the
village itself and the immediate area.
