How to Get Here

By Car

Take the A830 “Road to the Isles” from Fort William. Best to allow yourself 1-1 and ½ hours from Fort William to Mallaig. 3 ½  to 4 hours if traveling from Glasgow to Fort William the same from Edinburgh to Fort William or 2 to 2 and ½ hours from Inverness to Fort William. Before Arisaig, the last part of the track is single lane with passing places so allowances should be made for this when timing your trip. Harry Potter fans will be delighted by the viaduct bridge made famous on the Hogwarts Express/flying car chase is Just after the Glenfinnan monument. You’ll also pass the white sands of Morar, made famous as the beach locations for Local hero with Burt Lancaster. Breaking the Waves was filmed at the tiny church on the roadside after the Lochailort road section.  Allow time to take your snaps!
