Cromore is an active crofting township close to one of Scotland's National Scenic Areas. Its wild and unspoiled beauty make it a draw for tourists. Some of the former croft houses are now in use as holiday cottages.

Notable figures from Cromore include actor and writer Kenny Boyle[2] and Coinneach MacLeod The Hebridean Baker.[3]
