In Focus
Near
the seaward end of Loch Carron lies the picturesque village of
Plockton. Those choosing the coastal route from
Stromeferry to Kyle of Lochalsh via
Plockton and nearby
Duirinish take longer to reach their destination than
those who take the more direct inland road: but the scenery is superb and
Plockton is the undisputed highlight. This small
lochside village is one of the most attractive in Scotland, an idyllic place in an idyllic setting.

Featured Book
A Tangled Web by Ken Lussey (15 November 2023).
A fast-paced thriller set in northern Scotland. Callum Anderson returns to Sutherland to help local GP Jenny Mackay investigate the death
of her husband. The authorities say it was suicide but she’s convinced he was murdered. It soon becomes clear that Iain Mackay lied to
everyone who thought he loved them: especially his wife and his daughters. But that becomes the least of their problems when they come up
against people who have already killed and would have no qualms about killing again.
