Lochcarron is situated on the West Coast of the Scottish Highlands, some 63 miles due west of Inverness.

From the south, there are 2 main possible routes by which to approach:-

Firstly, the more scenic, but rather slower, route follows the A82 along the shores of Loch Lomond, through Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe to Fort William.

Thence, the route continues on the A82 north to Invergarry, and then via the A87 and A890/A896.

From Fort William onwards, you will pass several famous landmarks on the way -

•  the Commando Monument at Spean Bridge

•  Cluanie Inn

•  the 5 Sisters of Kintail

•  Eilean Donan Castle.

Secondly, the somewhat faster, albeit further, route, which quite simply goes as follows:-

• A9 north from Stirling/Perth to Inverness

• North from Inverness via the A9 and A835 to Garve

• West from Garve via the A832 to Achnasheen

• South west from Achnasheen via the A890/A896 to Lochcarron.

This route encompasses mostly good fast roads, although the A9 can sometimes seem frustratingly slow in heavy holiday traffic.
