A 50-mile trail through the rugged Scottish landscape.
Reviewed By jpseddie - Poole, United Kingdom
We did the "Road to the Isles Road Trip" from Fort William all the way and enjoyed it very much. fantastic scenery with mountains rivers and waterfalls all around. Half way point make sure you stop at the Glenfinnan monument and viaduct . For Harry Potter fans the viaduct is the scene from the second movie where the Hogwarts Express caught up with the flying Ford Anglia!. The Glenfinnan Monument has a visitor centre and lots of history surrounding Bonnie Prince Charlie and the views are simply amazing especially from the top looking down on the monument. We finally arrived at Mallaig just as the Jacobite Steam Train ( Hogwarts Express) was leaving ! :o)

Brilliant couple of hours tuition with Anne Rebecca who was an excellent instructor - very personable, great encouragement for the kids and really good instruction/feedback all round for improving the technique. Also really helpful guidance on a few rock climbing routes later on in the day. Thank you! Great day out.

Welcoming, bright, an extremely professional presentation of local geology, with something for all levels, from the volcanic sandpit right up to advanced geology with the shop owner. A truly wonderful find. I hope to go back one day and do their trip to Ardnamurchan. Full marks, Lochaber Geopark!

4.5 based on 1,078 reviews
We are a museum set in Cameron Square which is just off of the centre of Fort William High Street. We have eight rooms packed with fascinating objects, from treasure from a shipwrecked Spanish Armada galleon to the bagpipes played at Bannockburn in 1314. Whether its archaeology, natural history, Commando training and weaponry, Highland crofting life, costumes and charms, Victorian times, silver, coins and medals, or even the history of mountain rescue, it can all be found at the West Highland Museum.

Fascinating history in small place. Brilliant, very helpful and friendly staf. Exhibition about green beret was the most interesting. This is an independent museum with free admission so please think about donation to rescue this unique little treasure.

Described as the greatest railway journey in the world, this 84 mile round trip takes you past a list of impressive extremes. Starting near the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis, it visits Britain’s most westerly mainland railway station, Arisaig; passes close by the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar and the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, finally arriving next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis!

Diane & I fortunately opted to curtail time spent in (rather disappointing) Ft William in favour of a visit here during a National Holidays excursion and were glad we did - the weather was just perfect, crisp & clear with panoramic views of snow-capped hills, including Ben Nevis. A fitting tribute to brave men..........

Loch Linnhe is a tranquil, beautiful body of water which we have seen many times and always return to with great pleasure. The calm water, surrounding hills and bird life make this a very special place that we recommend anyone to visit.
