Traveling is a lot of fun, as it allows for exploration and meeting people with unique stories and backgrounds. When visiting Scotland in 2013, one of my favorite places was the Isle of Skye, which is drop-gorgeous and truly photogenic. On Skye, we stayed at a great Bed and Breakfast, where we felt truly welcome.

Upon departure from Skye toward Inverness, one of the recommendations was to take a slight detour just over the bridge. This detour led us here…

Idyllic Plockton

Plockton is situated in such a way that it’s protected from most of the effects of the climate that gives the Highlands its rugged look. The town gives one the feeling of being transported to a Mediterranean village!

The harbor is wonderful to see…

The houses along the harbor are lovely to behold and make for some great lines…

When in Scotland…go visit Plockton!

  1. I have fond memories of Scotland, from camping holidays and inquisitive cows to keys locked in cars and houses ‘in need of modernisation’ ie. complete rebuilds.
    The scenery is breathtaking in places, and little villages like this such a pleasure to come across when you least expect to.

    1. Ash, the indomitable Heilan Coos! They are special indeed. And sheep that don’t get out of the way on the islands!

      1. These recognised the range rover as it was the same model as the food delivery. Luckily they were in a field and not on the road, otherwise we would have been mugged! the ‘chips’ we had on board were of the computer variety,

  2. Beautiful images Frank, Plockton is a lovely place to visit and the freshly caught fish on the menu is delicious!🙂

  6. Lovely! I was recommended Plockton by a Scottish blogger – went there after Skye. I had only one day – but Rainy! Wonderful to see it in its full glory!

    1. Thank you! We were very lucky with the weather during our trip to Scotland, as during 12 days we had no more that a single hour of rain.

      1. That must be quite unusual!

      2. Yes, the locals asked us to stay longer, as we were a good weather charm 🙂
