LOCH LOCHY AND GLEN GARRY TO KNOYDART


Loch Lochy and Loch Oich are well known and seen by all travellers along the Great Glen. These attractive lochs offer short family walks as well as the tougher ascents of the steep mountains on their northern shores. Invergarry is at the heart of this area, on the northern shores of Loch Oich.

Further north are the remoter, lesser known lochs of Loch Garry and Loch Arkaig. There are few habitations here, and the wilder mountains round these lochs are empty and deserted. Still further north and west the tiny roads at last run out; beyond is the famously rugged wilderness region of Knoydart.
