Plock of Kyle, Kyle of Lochalsh
16 minute walk from Kyle of Lochalsh station · Highlands and Argyll · Free entry
The Plock of Kyle (Am Ploc in Gaelic) is the beautiful promontory west of Kyle of Lochalsh. The road to the Skye Bridge crosses its southern shores, but away from the road the Plock is a wonderful place to explore, with wild flower meadows, native woodland, a series of hidden rocky coves and a fine viewpoint. It's rich in wildlife; this is an excellent place to look for otters. Whilst the directions may seem complex due to the many paths, the exact route taken matters little - the Plock is a great place to explore. It is owned by the Kyle and Lochalsh Community Trust who have developed access for the benefit of locals and visitors alike.
