How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Plockton?
Gross bookings per Plockton listing averaged £27,598 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Scotland average: £28,841), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Plockton listing brings in £4,490 in August, its best month, and £1,240 in January, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £5,410+ a month, about 2.1 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Plockton Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Plockton Airbnb took in £27,598 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,480 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about £2,150 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £2,550 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,690 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,270 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Plockton's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Plockton listings are booked on 75% or more of their nights, against 59% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £135 adds about £1,370 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £165 a night or more, against a median of £135. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about £2,500 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £4,490, against £1,240 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Plockton listings average 4.83 stars, and 44% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about £3,320 a month, against £2,300 for the average one.
