Plockton to Lochcarron via Duncraig, Achmore, Strome Ferry, Attadale, Strathcarron
A brief woodland and lochside path to the A890 - a narrow almost two laned main road. Roadside pretty much the whole way.
No Marked Trail
The A890 is an unpleasant road to walk along despite grand views across Loch Carron. When I walked this it also rained heavily all day, so my judgement may be a tad clouded. Be very aware of all traffic using this road but escpecially when it is coming from both directions. Foreign tourists are also a worry as they are not so good at judging width when driving hire-cars on a slightly alien left hand side of the road.
My Rank *
