Sailing, canoeing,
rowing, windsurfing, fishing, and bicycles can be hired locally
at Calum Mackenzie’s a few doors away at very reasonable
rates. Other activities include hillwalking, visits
to the abundant seal colonies with Calum's
Seal Trips, pony
trekking, mountaineering, and many excellent walks around
the village and the Kyle Peninsula. There is something
for everyone and for all age groups.
There is a nine hole golf course at the
village of Loch Carron, a few miles away, and there is also
one in Kyle of a somewhat inferior quality, but, it is being
upgraded.
There are white coral beaches within easy
walking distance and the waters are crystal clear and free
from pollution.

There are two pubs in the village – The
Plockton Hotel and The Plockton Inn – both serve wonderful
food specialise in seafood dishes using the local fishermen’s
catch. Vegetarians are also well catered for, particularly
at The Plockton Inn. On Thursday evenings a few
of the local musicians get together with their guitars, fiddles,
accordions, banjos and pipes and have a ceilidh. Visitors
are more than welcome to join in.
Grumpy’s – the local fish and
chip shop is at the end of Harbour Street which serves excellent
fish and chips and other take away food for lazy nights in.
You can also have a meal at the more intimate Plockton Shores
on Harbour Street. Iain James is the owner and a first class
chef and his creations are exciting and innovative. The restaurant
carries a good range of wines and whiskies. It is advisable
to book as soon as you arrive in Plockton during the peak
season.
