Stromeferry

Stromeferry is a village on the west coast of Scotland.

It is served by Stromeferry railway station and is close to the A890 road. Stromeferry is on the southern bank of Loch Carron, Strome Castle is opposite on the northern bank.No ferry has operated since 1970.

The village is referred to in Iain Banks' novel "Complicity", where the narrator describes the road sign marking the village, which states "Strome Ferry (No Ferry)". However, a ferry returned to service during October 2008 as loose rocks made local roads unsafe and alternative access was required during repair works.
