•The annual bonfire and fireworks display was held at Plockton on Saturday November 4. As usual a very large crowd attended and Ewen Cameron, Douglas Cameron, Thomas Maclennan and Neil Macrae lit the fireworks while a team of volunteers sold burgers and mulled wine at the car-park.
•The recent very strong easterly gales resulted in several garden walls on Harbour Street being damaged and a huge amount of seaweed on the foreshore.
•Several holiday houses in Plockton are on the market including number 4, 19, 29 and 37 Harbour Street. A flat in the old free church is also for sale.
