Balmacara Estate and Lochalsh Woodland Garden, (NTS)

Kiosk (April to September), 9am-5pm, with informal interpretation of the garden and estate.

A crofting estate of 5616 acres with outstanding views of Skye and Applecross. Traditional crofting is still carried out at Drumbuie (Crofting Township of 1996) and Duirinish, and Plockton is an Outstanding Conservation Area. Ranger service guided walks in season.

Lochalsh Woodland garden provides pleasant sheltered walks beside the shores of Loch Alsh. Mature Scots pine, oak and beeches with developing collections of rhododendrons, bamboo, ferns, fuchsias and hydrangeas all flourish. The late Lady Hamilton bequeathed the Balmacara Estate to the National Trust in 1946.
