This cache is hidden on the footpath directly above Harbour Street, the main street in the village of Plockton. It has great views of the loch and over to Duncraig Castle.
Plockton is a picturesque settlement on the shores of Loch Carron. It faces east, away from the prevailing winds, which together with the North Atlantic Drift gives it a mild climate allowing the Cordyline australis palm or cabbage tree to prosper.
Most of the houses date from the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a planned community based on fishing in an attempt to stem the tide of emigration from the Highlands. The Church of Scotland in the village (also used by the Free Church of Scotland) was designed by Thomas Telford.
The village is a popular tourist resort, especially because the TV series Hamish Macbeth, starring Robert Carlyle, was filmed there, substituting for the fictional Lochdubh. Plockton was also used for various scenes in the film The Wicker Man and the Inspector Alleyn Mysteries TV series.
The cache is located on the path above Harbour Street. Drive through Plcokton and continue along to Frithard Road. Take the sharp corner and find a parking space near the bins. From here that the National Trust waymarked path to Innes Street. This cache is just off the path.
You can continue on this path to Innes Street. It is a circular route.
You should have your camera at the ready, to capture the great views!
