The lochan is set in what was the grounds of the home of the Earl of Strathcona who was, for a while, the governor general of Canada.  He brought back with him his Canadian wife who became a little homesick so he landscaped the whole area around the house to look like the Canadian Rockies.  Some visitors have commented that the area around the lochan looks like a miniature Lake Louise in British Columbia. Set in the heart of Glen Coe this idyllic walk is great for all ages and abilities.

The walk begins at the car park at Lochan to the east of the village of Glencoe. It starts by passing through woodland before beginning the climb along the mountain tracks. It is a steep climb with some muddy sections and some scrambling for the last 100 metres to the summit. However, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views over Glencoe, the Mamores and Loch Leven.

The walk begins at the car park at Lochan to the east of the village of Glencoe. It starts by passing through woodland before beginning the climb along the mountain tracks. It is a steep climb with some muddy sections and some scrambling for the last 100 metres to the summit. However, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views over Glencoe, the Mamores and Loch Leven.

Over 20 miles of purpose-built trails wind through Laggan Forest, with superb views of the Monadhliath hills on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park. There are routes from an easy-going green trail to a black run that’s probably the most technical bit of single-track in Scotland. In the bike park you can ride big berms and tabletop jumps. You don’t have to ride a bike to enjoy Laggan: the route to Dun da Lamh hill fort (see walk tab) makes a great walk as well as a cycle ride. It’s one of the best-preserved hill forts in the Highlands, with impressive walls and superb views of the countryside around. Enjoy a wander through the tranquil pine and spruce forest, looking for red squirrels in their favourite habitat.  Run by Laggan Forest Trust, the centre has a bright, airy café with comfortable sofas, lovely views and helpful, friendly staff. The menu includes chilled and hot drinks (great coffee!), a breakfast menu, burgers, soup, sandwiches, home baking and snacks. The centre also has toilets and coin operated showers. There’s also a small bike shop and bike hire available through the Wee Bike Hub.

Situated in the High Street in the heart of the historic town of Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, The West Highland Museum's collections tell the story of the region and its history. Its most renowned and unusual collection relates to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite cause. But the museum also holds a wealth of curious and fascinating collections relating to less well-known aspects of the lives of the people of the West Highlands, from the effects of political warfare, to the economic impact of tourism in the region, and the coming of the industrial and modern age.

Yhe Clan Cameron Museum was opened by Sir Fitzroy Maclean of Dunconnell in 1989. The founding of the Museum was enthusiastically backed by the Clan worldwide who contributed generously and since that time we have  been visited by clansfolk from all over the world and by many people interested in the history of the Highlands. The Camerons have lived in Lochaber since the 14th century and the Museum traces the history of the Clan from its early beginnings to the present day, through 27 generations. There is an extensive section on Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745 in which the Camerons played a crucial part. On display are artefacts, photographs and information about two famous regiments whose members continue to visit these historic training grounds:- The 79th Cameron Highlanders, raised in 1793 by Major Alan Cameron of Erracht. They mustered in Fort William with volunteers coming mainly from Lochaber and North Argyll.   Commandos of many nationalities completed rigorous training at Achnacarry during WW2. Pre booking required.

Loch Arkaig is another of the many east-west lochs the glaciers scoured across the Western Highlands. Near its eastern end is the hamlet of Achnacarry, at its western end is the even smaller settlement of Strathan. Between them lies the narrow and fairly tortuous single track road that makes its way for a dozen miles along Loch Arkaig's northern shore. Loch Arkaig contains stocks of Brown Trout and Pike and can be fished on the bank or by boat if you have your own. Permits are required and can be bought from the Rod and Gun shop in Fort William or by an honesty box situated at the head of the Loch. Apart from its wildness and innate beauty, there is anther reason why you might want to reach the western end of Loch Arkaig. Surprising though it may seem until you look at a map, it is one of the best ways of walking into Knoydart.  Loch Arkaig's other claim to fame is as the alleged hiding place of a consignment of gold landed by the French at Arisaig for the Jacobites in 1746. This was hidden somewhere near Loch Arkaig, and the hiding place, it is said, has never been found.

Nowhere in Scotland can the dramatic effects of glacial ice on our landscape be seen more clearly. The glory of Glen Roy National Nature Reserve (NNR) is that you can easily spot the pattern of the Parallel Roads and other Ice Age landforms. For centuries, great thinkers and geologists pondered the mystery of how these deep lines – or ‘roads’ – were gouged into the hillside. The solution to the puzzle is that a series of ice-dammed lakes formed and drained at the end of the last Ice Age. Combined with the other glacier-linked landforms – such as river fans, terraces and landslips – they create a geological wonderland. Spend time in this vast landscape and appreciate the tremendous forces of nature. You may see red deer, ravens, buzzards and the occasional golden eagle.
