Loch Carron, Sea inlet in western Highland, Scotland.
The elongated sea inlet separates the Lochalsh peninsula from Applecross peninsula, extending inland from the North Atlantic Ocean for several kilometers.
Archaeological investigations between 1999 and 2004 uncovered 129 sites around Loch Carron, including five caves and four stone tool scatter locations.
The Kyle Line railway, running along the southern edge of Loch Carron, connects multiple coastal communities through stations at Attadale, Stromeferry, and Duncraig.
Visitors can access the loch through the A890 and A896 roads, which form part of the North Coast 500 route between Kyle of Lochalsh and Shieldaig.
The waters near Strome Castle contain over 250 million flame shells, forming the largest flame shell colony documented worldwide.
