Badachro [1] is a former fishing village, in the northwest Highlands of Scotland.
Badachro sits about 3 km south of Gairloch on the shore of Gair Loch, and is a natural harbour popular with yachts.[2] Approximately 2 miles to the SE are located the Fairy Lochs, the site of a 1945 plane crash which is now a designated war grave. The crash site has been preserved as a memorial to the USAAF servicemen who lost their lives in the accident and is accessible by a rough track near the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel.
Badachro is in the Highland Council area.
Queen Victoria visited Shieldaig Lodge Hotel in 1877[3] but never made it to Badchro village itself as the roads were too bad. Today Shieldaig Lodge is home to a small watersports centre Gairloch Canoe and Kayak Centre.
At the end of the nineteenth century, Badachro was a busy fishing village.[4] Cod
