Arriving by Road
Glen Spean and the Great Glen is truly the Crossroads of the Highlands of Scotland – all routes lead to this area!
From the South - take the picturesque A82 from Glasgow, through the Loch Lomond National Park, dramatic Glencoe and past Loch Linnhe.
From the North - the A82 follows the world famous Loch Ness from Inverness, plus a number of scenic lochs which make up the Caledonian Canal.
From the East - the Highlands' main arterial route, the A9, transports you from Edinburgh in the south, or Inverness and beyond in the North. At Dalwhinnie, join the A86 to head west into our area, carrying you past imposing, rugged landscapes.
From the West - arriving from Mallaig or Skye? The A890, more romantically referred to as the 'Road to the Isles', transports you from the silver sands of the coast, past Glenfinnan with its monument and viaduct, skirting Fort William and offering the best views of Ben Nevis.
