Kylestrome is a village on the north shore of Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin, in the north-west of Sutherland.
The village was, at least from the 19th century, linked to Kylesku across the loch by a free ferry, and here too cattle were swum across the loch on their way south. In 1984 the ferry was replaced by the Kylesku Bridge crossing between the two villages.
The Cape Wrath Trail runs through the village.
