By car Lochcarron is an unhurried 4 to 5 hours drive from Edinburgh or Glasgow. 

The fast route is up the A9 through Athol and the Cairngorm Mountains to Inverness then across country on the A835 and A832 through the wilderness of Strath Ban to Achnasheen with the final 23 miles on the A890 clearly signed. 

The scenic route, which may be only a little slower, follows the west coast on the A82 through Glencoe and Fort William to Invergarry then over spectacular Kintail on the A87 to join the A890, again clearly signed to Lochcarron.

Inverness can be reached by overnight sleeper from London Euston, arriving in Inverness at 08.37 with ten minutes to spare to cross the platform to the Kyle of Lochalsh train.
