Our local tourist offices at Spean Bridge and Fort William have leaflets covering many
topics: walks drives, fishing, mountain biking, waterfalls and castles are a few examples.
A selection of leaflets is available in the accommodation. |

Frequent questions
- Car Hire? – Available locally but can be
expensive, cheaper to hire in Glasgow or Edinburgh.
- Midges? – The curse of Scotland. Summer months
are the worst but our site is not too badly affected as our site is fairly open and is not
too close to water. Insect repellents are available from chemists and many other shops.
- Rain? – We get our fair share. However, because
of the topography of the Highlands the weather can change within a few miles. Television
weather reports are very general and should not be assumed to be accurate.
- Eagles? – Shy birds not readily found. Best
places to look are in the more secluded Glens. Buzzards are more plentiful and often
mistaken for eagles at a distance.
- Highland Games? – Many throughout the summer.
Details available from our local tourist office.
- Fishing? – Mainly game fishing available (trout
and salmon). Many places available costs vary from free to £20 for trout and from £10 to
£100 for salmon per day. Ask if more details required.
- Ski Hire? – All ski equipment can be hired from
several sources in Fort William. Booking is recommended during mid-February.
- Groceries? – Can be ordered and delivered to
your accommodation before arrival.
