Duncraig

I went to Plockton today, a lovely little village in WesteRoss. Don't think your going to find anything to tourist there, it's not built for it. Yes there are a few shops for those looking for trinkets, there are a couple of nice pubs with good food. But the biggest plus is the views across the bay, of the mountains and the loch and even the hidden castle, well hotel these days !

Duncraig Castle is a mansion in Lochalsh, in the west highlands of Scotland. It is situated 1 km east of the village of Plockton, on the south shore of Loch Carron. It was built in 1866 for Alexander Matheson, a Scottish businessman and Member of Parliament. It was built in the Scottish Baronial style, to designs by Alexander Ross.

It is served by Duncraig railway station, on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line. This was originally opened in 1897 as a private station, though is now open to the public.

Duncraig Castle was bequeathed to Ross and Cromarty County Council, and became a home-economics college after the Second World War. It now luxury bed and breakfast accommodation
