Plockton, Scotland: One of the Most Beautiful Village In The Highlands
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- Plockton in Scotland is often referred to as the Jewel of the Highlands The charming picturesque village of Plockton is wonderfully positioned on a sheltered bay with stunning views overlooking Loch Carron. We will take you on a wonderful tour of Plockton and the surrounding area to see some of the many things to do around Plockton. The highland cows roaming freely in the village nearby were a highlight for us and we'll show you where it is. We also drive the formidable Applecross pass. For brave drives that want a thrilling adventure across some stunning wild and winding Scottish roads some 24 miles from Plockton.
This road claims the prize for the steepest ascent of a UK road. Starting at sea level and rising to 626 metres of 2054 feet. It has some challenging bends and the weather changes fast, so you need your wits about you. We hope you enjoy this episode.

The film The Wicker Man is a 1973 British folk horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, ... and a lot of it was filmed here before Hamish Macbeth. The rail journey twixt Inverness & Plockton is ranked as one of the most beautiful in the world was even better when diesel loco hauled!!
Very interesting Len, thanks for sharing your thoughts and useful info.
I want to go - immediately. The Highlands have always been one of my dreams.
Did all of these areas in 2007 on our honeymoon, it was blissful and totally beautiful!
☺️
Many thanks for taking me back too Plockton, We found this gem way back in the 80s, it had palm tree's and scenic views wherever one looked! We also did the 500 way back then when it was not popular or mentioned! But now many folk have seen Scotland through harry potter and many other films/footage - One chap who has a blog on TH-cam asked if there was such a place As Scotland - does it exist he asked? You have many places to visit and to enjoy here in Scotland - Enjoy and drive carefully on our single track roads -They are not for speedsters!
Hi I'm from Indonesia! Thank you for sharing this wonderful village! ❤
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
You don't need to give complement about it.
Watching from Australia wishing I could escape here. Another lovely video and very informative thank you 😀
The beauty of the place makes me cry.
I've seen 'Hamish Macbeth' at least five times since 2015. And really, really want to visit Scotland, especially Plockton. Hear me, Universe!
Around 40 years ago we came across Plockton on holiday. To our amazement while walking along the loch a local offered us the use of his boat to travel the length of the the loch. This proved one of the most memorable half days of our lives, absolutely unforgettable! He said he didn’t want payment other than for the fuel and so I gave him a fiver. I seem to recall him telling me that this bay was a secret stopping place for HMQ on the Brittania
Loved Hamish MacBeth with all those highland cattle and the gorgeous scenery. A great video of the area. Keep it up guys.
Spent a lovely holiday week in Plockton on the back of Sunday nights with Hamish Macbeth some years ago. I enjoyed the early mornings jogging the roads round about and taking the highland train to Inverness and back with it’s captivating scenery. I do remember clearly one time returning
from a day out, to local cows roaming the streets of Plockton unrestricted as apparently a local bylaw allowed the owner this privilege. Scotland at it’s irresistible finest.
How nice, makes me itch to go back. Really have fond memories of being there last summer.
Stunning views. I need to visit Scotland. 👏👏 Greetings from Limerick, Ireland. 🇮🇪☘❤
It’s wonderful, as is Ireland, somewhere we have visited a little and should have explored again last summer before the pandemic took hold. We will be back! Greetings from London.
Being our neighbours you don’t really have an excuse. Get your bum over. Caledonia it is calling you 🏴
I keep imagining the people in the past who roamed these passes and glens in their tartans. What a hard life they had. Thanks for the vlog it's really interesting. =-)
Highland cows view captured lazing near the river is priceless!
Thank you!
It was amazing to see them.
Plockton Village sounds like a place you could possibly bump into Windy Miller and Barny McGrew. Picturesque scenery the village is absolutely lovely, those pubs looked warm and welcoming along with the hotel . Scottish beef must be one of the best in the world, clean air luscious grass and a stress free life . Thanks guys for taking me on this journey, I’m loving it .
Now, we really are going back in time, windy miller! Fell in love with Plockton it was just so beautiful and can see why they picked it for filming.
Scotland is beautiful beyond words. You guys are amazing and I love the narration. I wish I can drive there, 😂 I am used to US driving.
I am sure you would be ok driving. Go for it!
stunning and aww the cattle well theres no words just peaceful love love to spend time with them
The cattle do just need a cuddle don’t they! Very special place.
Scotland is amazing
I spent a couple of days here a few years ago,and hope to go back. Very,very peaceful.
What a lovely place...
Thanks for visiting
I visited Scotland in 2017 and it is wonderful to watch your videos and relive the sights! Thank you for taking us along on your journeys. You do a good service to those unable to travel now.
Thanks so much Ivy really nice to hear ☺️
God's stunning beauty - that Apple Cross Road gives me the shivers - very narrow.
Beautiful place in a beautiful country. This brings back many happy memories from my younger days. I was there one time and there was a rainbow in the sky that looked like both ends were in the water . Amazing site.
Wonderful village...🙏❤
It really is!
That was so beautiful. We have some very nasty roads here in Australia. That scenery is just gorgeous, so look forward to seeing next video. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Hi Linda, so nice to know you are enjoying the series! Skye was incredible and we are so excited to share it this weekend. You keep safe too!
This is such a beautiful place
Thank you
Being based in Inverness we tend to " staycation " all the time. 3 weeks ago we headed out and visited Plockton, Duirinish, Skye and of course, Applecross ! but obviously not in one day lol Applecross however stands out as most memorable, I certainly wont ever forget it. We took the Coast Road, which isnt the best, but it was worth it , with jaw dropping scenery around every corner. However, my hubby decided we would take the old road back down......i think i would rather have gone up the old road and taken the Coast road back down, it would have relaxed me a bit. Like you, on the old road, it was extremely cloudy and the hairpin bends were horrendous, never knowing if someone was coming towards you and whether you would end up going off the road !! Ive never been so glad to get back down to earth again !! Thats it ticked off my bucket list now, i wont be going back anytime soon.
you guys have really sold Scotland to me, and I cant wait to visit! this video was beautiful, and cant wait to watch Skye! thank you for sharing your journeys :)
Hi that is nice to hear. We want to inspire you to visit. 👍 hope u like our last two episodes.
My husband and I have been watching your videos in anticipation for our holiday in Scotland this July. We’ve been once before but not to isle of Skye and we’re so looking forward to it. You guys would be great tour guilds, wish you two were there during our time.
Hope you have a wonderful time and glad to know the videos have been helpful.
I was wondering where Plockton was, as I do like the tv series Hamish Macbeth. I could cheerfully live anywhere in this area. Such a beautiful setting. So glad you made this video, it is delightful. Many thanks.
Thank you for watching 😊 so glad you liked it.
I love London
Was für ein wunderschönes romantisches kleines Fischerdorf 🏘🏡. sehr beeindruckend auch die Hochland Rinder 🐂denen ihr ja sehr nah kommen konntet. Die Landschaft ist einfach atemberaubend schön, mal sanft mal wild und das Wetter ist eben unberechenbar. Bei eurem Besuch waren nicht viele Leute unterwegs, ihr konntet in aller Ruhe Filmen 📸im Sommer in der Hochsaison würde ich hier nicht herkommen wollen. Danke für diese wunderschöne Tour und eure wertvollen Informationen 🙏🙋♀️🇩🇪
I am so amazed by the cattle just grazing and laying about (giggle). Truly enjoying the Scottish vlogs thank you so much.
It was a highlight for us, so lovey to be up close like that. Thanks for watching!
Great. Loved the high st Plocton and the pass. Keep them coming. Thanks. Rmb3*
Very nice, we are hoping to visit Skye next June, your videos have been an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.😁👍
Thanks for watching, glad it has inspired you to visit. Hope you have a great trip and visit some of the places we have.
Thank you for your vids and taking me on a vacation from home! Very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed the Scotland vids! If you fancy another vacation we have lots of others on our channel 😎
Очень красивые места!!!!!! Спасибо большое!!!!! Вам хороших приключений!!!!
Спасибо за просмотр.
Fabulous footage 👌
Many thanks!
What a beautiful location! I'm hoping for a Scotland re-visit in 2022 and really want a Highlands immersion, your Highlands series is very helpful in my own planning.
I do so love your videos, you manage to give a personal feel but with mature professional-style production and narration... no inane amateurish babbling. Thank you!
That’s great to hear to Donna, hope we give you some good ideas to help the planning. Have a wonderful trip!
Another lovely part of Britain. I hope to visit England soon.
Excellent introduction to this little town.
Thank you we loved it!
Thank you so much guys have enjoyed tremendously, be safe keep it up 🤗🤗
Our pleasure!
Narrow roads but stunning Awesome Landscape 👍
That was really good thank ...beautiful place 🤗
👍😊
Fantastic video. I am going to watch the next one about
the Island of skye.
Jeff❤
Another great video.
Very helpful as I'm taking the family up to this for a motorhoming holiday over the school break
Brilliant and lovely to watch :) My family come from Plockton and I would love to visit, so I really did enjoy this very much. I’ve also seen the name Applecross on old birth certificates, so the drive was cool to see as well. My heartfelt thanks for sharing!
How lovely to have family there, so glad you liked the tour ☺️
I have loved this series so much!!! Thank you for taking us along! I really want to visit ❤️
Hi Kimberly, thanks for watching and hope you get to visit! ❤
This Is amazing! Thank you for the video 😱💖👏
You're so welcome! 😀
Want to go right now
Nice video. I sent it to my American friend who spent some time there. All the best.
Thank you very much, thanks for sharing.
A stunning video! The road to Applecross looked terrifying.
It was incredible, fun, and daunting at times but worth it and should be done by anyone that is experienced driving. So cool!
Absolutely enchanting
☺️ It certainly is!
Beautiful. Thanks for letting me tag along. You both do a great job.
Thanks Joan, love having you watching!
Thank you very much for sharing another wonderful vlog, lovely scenery, highland cattle, the Applecross, as well as all the corresponding history...I am enjoying all this tour very much...Keep safe..
☺️thanks Diana
Definitely adding this amazing spot to my tour of Scotland
You won’t be disappointed!
Did you see our video about the Isle of Skye too? It’s very close by to Plockton and you won’t want to miss out on it!
Thank you for sharing another beautiful episode/experience of the other side of the world 🌎❣️❤️🥂🍾 truly appreciate it and you for sharing 😊 stay safe and healthy out there. 🙏
Thanks Tiffany glad you are still enjoying the episodes, you take care too!
Thank you for a wonderful series. Your research and information is so useful for future tourists. I am not sure if I will ever get back to my homeland on Skye but your series brings back many memories of our visits up north. Bognor Regis is quite some way to have to travel when you are 84. The views of Plockton were fantastic Thank you. I look forward to more of your series. Iain Mackinnon
Iain so pleased we stirred the memories of your homeland. Nice to know we gave some happiness with our tours.
Thank you for another excellent video. Commentary just right and excellent photography. Quite a ride when you speed up the camera going through the pass ha! ha! I love Scotland and really enjoying revisiting.
Thank you for the kind words Penelope, so pleased you liked the tour and drive over Applecross. It was quite wild!
Another interesting and beautiful part of Scotland! Especially the history, and the Highland cattle, with their adorable little calves! The Applecross drive was very beautiful, even though it was tricky and unpredictable (weather wise) and I really appreciate your sharing this time with us. I'm looking forward to seeing the next installment in the Island of Skye, I have seen programs about this particular place, absolutely jaw dropping scenery!
Thanks Cassandra, seeing the cattle up close was very special and in such an idyllic setting that looked like a movie set. Fell in love with Plockton and this area. We saved the best for last Isle of Skye is out of this world!
Gracias por la traducción . Una maravilla de vídeos
Awesome video. Thank you 🤎
Thank you for watching! 😃
You produce some great vlogs. Infomative and professional..thanks
Thank you very much, glad you like them.
Molto bello , very beauty , nice trip , grazie
Brings back memories of when I passed my driving test and the first big trip out was along these roads. Reversing back down the roads to the nearest passing place to yeild to an oncoming vehicle was terrifying!
Wow not sure I would have been so confident to do that! Glad it brings back good memories ☺️
Beautiful video 👍👌👏😊
Thank you 😊
Im moving here soon, thx for the tips 👍
Oh how lucky you are! Enjoy
The white building at the corner, where the road turns to go along the front, used to have HOTEL blazoned across it's gable end for the filming of "Hamish MacBeth".
The interior shots, however, were filmed in the Balmacara Hotel, several miles away. We were in the Balmacara once and met Robert Carlyle when leaving, nice guy!
Hi Bob thanks for the interesting information on the village and connection to the programme. How lucky to have met Robert Carlyle! ☺️
My two favourite things to do in Scotland - drive the NC500, and spot the highland coos! I really like that they have desigated view points on the NC500, to prevent people from stopping in the middle of the road.
Great video thanks so much love from pakistan
Greetings from London
Lovely - that's my favourite castle - the setting is magical - although when we were there (end of the day, so too late to see in the castle) some low-flying fighter nearly took out the flags! They were going so fast couldn't close the shutter fast enough! That new drive looks very scenic, although in the height of summer could be congested. Smashing tour, guys, thanks.
Thanks , that was excellent- Plockton is a lovely part of the world - nice to see it hasn’t changed since we visited. The Applecross trip looked pretty wild… and the shots you managed looked excellent (Osmo .. per chance?). All in all a cool video … covering more than we knew… Skye next… I’ll tune in … hopefully you had nice weather… and perhaps some stunning scenery. (Oh and the Plockton Inn was excellent we stayed there - food was the best we had on our entire trip)..
Hello thanks for the lovely comment. Glad we were able to give you some information you didn’t know having already been and experienced it. The Plockton Inn was very good for food. Yes some of the shots are on an Osmo pocket 2. Very handy camera!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing video . Plockton is an absolutely beautiful village . In fact, the Highlands are totally stunning ❤
It really is!
Loved the informational and pleasant commentary and how positive you stayed even thru the fog! (We've been there, done that in a few scenic spots!) The 15-20ish minute videos are just perfect making our daily workout go by quickly.
Hello thank you for the lovely comment, so glad you are enjoying watching ☺️
Lovely Plockton. Thank u.
Extremely interesting video & one of beautiful village of Scotland... the way you explore & exhibit is very admirable 👍👍
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I absolutely loved that breeds hairstyle 😁 Lovely villages 😊 my only wish you have more luck with the weatner within your journeys❤
We do have some better weather coming on the trip. Scotland can be brutal for the weather!
@@MemorySeekers It shows 😊 Scotland does not left any doubt in that😊
This video was extremely helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh!
The beauty lives there.
So quaint love fishing villages. I saw lobster pots. Love Maine Lobster.. yeah wildlife.
So soothing hearing the waves come in/out.
I wonder how far Balmoral is to the Island of Skye?
Balmoral is the other side of Scotland. 170 ish mile away.
@@MemorySeekers thank you
Just loved this video!!
Thank you Rebecca ☺️
thank you for showing the gorgeous scenery around Plockton. Look forward to your Skye video. I live in Victoria Australia, and funny enough there is a Skye just 3 klm from where I live too. though its not on the beach like i should imagine your Skye is. :)
Hi Den, great to hear from you in Australia. Glad you enjoyed the tour so far. Skye is incredible and does have a few stunning beaches and coastline. Not long to wait till next weekend!
If I can't do it this time, in my next life I'll settle in Plockton.
😀👍
Nice video thank you for
Welcome!
I like all the information you give. I did see hamrish
Thank you glad you liked it.
Great videos. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you for joining us, lots to catch up on and the rest of the Scottish highlands series
Muy hermoso
May I ask which part of the UK are you guys from? The reason is I am learning English, mostly from TH-cam, hoping to catch on English accent a bit and watching your videos is an ideal way for me to learn and enjoy beautiful scenery at the same time!
Hello there we are south west of London in the county of Surrey. Hope the videos help you with your English.
@@MemorySeekers Thank you so much 🙏
those skies remind me of where I live, the state of Oregon on the coast.
Hello thanks for watching from Oregon.
Nice video👌👌
Your videos are fab!
Ah thanks!
The Wicker Man was also filmed there.....
👍👍
Back Again 💖
Love from Pakistan
Hello from London
I was wondering where that was filmed. Thanks for the video
I've really enjoyed your movies from here in New Zealand. I did the North Coast 500 four years ago. I was wondering what type of camera you use? Keep it up!
Would like to do the n500 drive too! We use different cameras, from a canonm50 with different lens to GoPro to DJI pocket 2. Glad you enjoyed it!
Was there last week brutifull place
Love to be back there Nigel.
nice video .. thanks for the translation in italiano
0:04 We arrive at the small but perfectly formed village of Plockton to make a vlog about the beauty of it and its surroundings without bothering to check whether the tide is in...
