| Distance from Plockton |
| | about 8 miles |
| Directions |
| |  From Plockton take the road to Durinish and go straight on to Balmacara, passing by Durinish and Balmacara Square. You will eventually reach the main A87 road where you should turn left and continue on for a couple of miles (passing the location used for the interior of the Stag Bar)and after a few more miles the turnoff to the A890 - the road which appears in "More than a Game". |
| | A mile of so after this there is a turnoff on the right to Nostie and Avernich. Follow this single track road to the end where this is space to park a few cars on the left of the road. As far as I can gather, although the parking area is private, there is no objection to it's use. From this point the road turns into a track which leads past a few houses and then turns into a path which goes to Avernich beach. |
| | Follow this path and go past the ruined houses at the bottom near the loch. Then head directly across to the loch side. The first load of rocks are the ones which appeared in the opening scene of "In search of a rose" where Hamish Macbeth finds the life belt. Other locations are further along the beach. The remainder of the beach scenes in this episode (those with the view of 'Lochdubh Island' and at the end of the episode) were filmed at Uags at the bottom of Applecross |
