Scotland – Applecross to Plockton

The final stages of the Wednesday of my holiday in Scotland.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the latest post in my series about my holiday in Scotland. This post concludes Wednesday’s activities with some photos of the journey back from Applecross to Plockton which we did by a different route from the one we had taken there and an account of my birthday meal in Plockton.

THE JOURNEY

Other than a brief stop at Lochcarron we went from Applecross to Plockton without stopping. I will let the pictures tell the story…

THE BIRTHDAY MEAL

The food at the Plockton Inn proved to be every bit as excellent as we had been led to expect and there was an excellent locally brewed beer on tap as well (Plockton Ring Dong for the record). This was an excellent way to round off a splendid day.

Scotland – Wednesday Part 1: Plockton

The latest post ion my series about my Scottish Holiday, dealing with Plockton.

INTRODUCTION

We have reached the Wednesday in my series of posts about my holiday in Scotland, which astute readers will recall was the day of my birthday. For previous posts in this series please click here. There will be a number of posts about this day as we saw a lot of fantastic scenery.

PLOCKTON

Our first port of call was Plockton, where were hoping to book a table at the Plockton Inn (it is in the Good Food Guide). There were also a few other things to see in Plockton. Here are some early pictures:

We were lucky at the Inn – they did have a table, at 6PM, so we knew when we had to be back in Plockton. This sorted, it was time to explore Plockton:
