Balmacara Square Pond

Highlight • Rest Area

Set at the heart of the Balmacara Estate, Balmacara Square is a pretty cluster of white-painted houses with an information point, cafe, gallery and deli. A great place to start/finish an adventure in the Lochalsh area.

Balmacara Square is a lovely little village that comes with a great little gallery and a coffee shop. Well worth the stop after a stroll.
