Many years ago I fleetingly passed through Plockton but I immediately knew that it was somewhere that I wanted to return and explore. I recently booked myself a small cottage in the village itself so that I had a good base for driving round the mainland and venturing onto Skye.

Plockton is a really quiet place to stay and I found it to be extremely relaxing. My favourite spot was the Plockton Coral Beach which I visited twice; once at low tide and then at the end of my week when I took my full camera kit at high tide. It was magical as there was no one about and the light across the Cuillins was very soft and gentle.

Here are some of my photos of Plockton and it's fabulous beach.
