Part of the fun is getting here...
By Car
Take the A830 “Road to the Isles” from Fort William. Best to allow yourself 1 to 1½ hours from Fort William to Mallaig. 3½ to 4 hours if traveling from Glasgow to Fort William the same from Edinburgh to Fort William or 2 to 2½ hours from Inverness to Fort William. Harry Potter fans will be delighted by the viaduct bridge made famous on the Hogwarts Express/flying car chase is Just after the Glenfinnan monument. You’ll also pass the white sands of Morar, made famous as the beach locations for Local hero with Burt Lancaster. Breaking the Waves was filmed at the tiny church on the roadside after the Lochailort road section. Allow time to take your snaps!

Walking In
What better way to reach us than by walking from Glenfinnan Viaduct (usually 2 days walk, one night mid distance in Sourlies Bothy) in via Glendessary, Glen Meadall or Kinlochhourn. This is sure to a put a spring in your step and colour in your cheeks. Post on your gear in advance if you fancy the lure of a hot shower, clean change of socks and a pint of cask conditioned real ale to accompany a juicy steak or fresh seafood platter at The Old Forge, Remotest Pub on Mainland Britain.
