Stromeferry () is a village, located on the south shore of the west coast sea loch, Loch Carron, in western Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. Its name reflects its former role as the location of one of the many coastal ferry services which existed prior to the expansion of the road network in the 20th century. 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. The village is referred to in Iain Banks's novel Complicity, where the narrator describes the road sign marking the village, which states "Strome Ferry (No ferry)". Some local shinty players once competed as "Stromeferry (No Ferry) United". The village has been subject of various development proposals focussing on the derelict hotel. In November 2007, W.A. Fairhurst & Partners, on behalf of the Helmsley Group, secured an outline planning consent for reinstating the hotel and building a number of new homes. formerly the community had two church congregations, the Free Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland. Both have subsequently united with other congregations, and the buildings transferred to private usage. The Church of Scotland building was closed in 1989. Ferry Stromeferry lies next to the narrowest part of Loch Carron and for many years, there was a ferry service between here and North Strome. This provided a link with the first road built in 1809 along the north side of the loch. Completion of the Stromeferry bypass (A890) along the south-eastern shore of the loch made the ferry service redundant and it ceased operating in 1970. At that time, there were two vessels providing the service. The larger of the two, Pride of Strome, measuring , was built in 1962 by Forbes of Sandhaven. The smaller, Strome Castle, measuring , was built in 1958 by Nobles of Fraserburgh. Both boats now lie wrecked on the shore of Loch Carron between North Strome and Lochcarron. A temporary ferry service operated during October 2008 as loose rocks made local roads unsafe and alternative access was required during repair works. In January 2012, Highland Council chartered two vessels to provide a temporary ferry service after a series of rockfalls closed the A890 road. The 61-seater cruise boat Sula Mhor operating from nearby Plockton carried school pupils and other
