The major attraction of the Fort William and Lochaber regions (apart from the stunning scenery, of course) is that there are just so many different individual attractions: geographical and historical, natural and man-made, winter and summer.

The Great Glen, a colossal geological fault splits the scenery apart from the major coastal loch Loch Linnhe and the Highland touring route centre of Fort William all the way to Inverness, capital of the Highlands and the Moray Firth. To the west of this region are the lands of Ardnamurchan, Ardgour, Morvern and Moidart, rugged landscapes with a mild Atlantic climate.

The first major stop north of Fort William is Spean Bridge, an attractive village which boasts a fine selection of local accommodation and its own 9-hole golf course. A mile from the village, the famous Commando Memorial commemorates those commandos who fell during the 2nd World War, many of whom trained in this area.

From Invergarry the A87 climbs west en route to the Kyle of Lochalsh and ferries to the mystical Small Isles sail from Mallaig. About five miles from Invergarry is the junction for Tomdoun and Kinloch Hourn, from which a single track road weaves its way for a truly wonderful 22 miles through Glen Garry to the head of Loch Hourn, a trip which claims to be the longest cul-de-sac in Britain, and which is undoubtedly the most beautiful.

The Isle of Skye is joined to the mainland by the Skye Bridge at the Kyle of Lochalsh and can also be reached by ferry. The island attracts visitors with its rugged beauty and its romantic history; Skye is inextricably linked with Bonny Prince Charlie and his escape from the English following the rout at Culloden.
