Day 4 – 16th July
First of all – apologies for the mixed up order of The Great Glen Way posts – I can’t seem to change the order!
Today’s jaunt is from South Laggan to Invermoriston – 18.5m /30km. Another full English (or should that be Scottish) breakfast and we head off once more. The journey is going to take us along the length of Loch Oich up to Fort Augustus where we hope to stop for beer and a sandwich. Here are a couple of shots of the Loch.
The weather is pleasant enough and it looks like we’ll get lucky and not get drowned today. We come across a teashop and I stock up on whisky flavoured fudge and take a shot of Dave relaxing:
Loch Oich eventually gives way to the River Oich and eventually another stretch of the Caledonian Canal for the march into Fort Augustus. Here you can see a couple of shots of the canal…
We stop for an hour or so in Fort Augustus for some snacks and a quick look around the town. I buy some sweets from a wonderfully old fashioned sweet shop – and the gang sets off again for the final leg into Drumnadrochit. Here is a shot of Mick, John and myself having a breather.
And a couple of scenic shots….
Finally, we reach our destination which is the Bracarina Guesthouse. This is handily next door to the Glen Moriston Hotel where we eat and drink grandly.
Tomorrow it is Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit!

Day 5 – 17th July
Today’s trek is the longest and hardest of the week – 16m/26km from Invermoriston – to Drumnadrochit! I tuck into another hardcore breakfast despite not being overly hungry. This is the view from our bedroom window taken just before setting out:
There has been rain throughout the night and early morning, and so far we haven’t really had a proper soaking. I have a feeling this won’t last. I take another shot of this colourful flower – I am sadly ignorant of its proper name…
We walk the first couple of miles along the A82 which is perhaps one of the more hazardous things I have done – as there is not really any provision for pedestrians. However – we head off back into the hills at Alltsigh. A light summer rain falls for about an hour – which is very pleasant! I manage to get a shot or two of Loch Ness – sadly, no sight of the legendary Nessie…
By about mid-afternoon the legs are aching and the feet protest at every step. I eventually catch up with Mick and John who taking a break under the shade of a tree.
Very sensibly, we cut out an entirely unnecessary diversion and scramble down the hillside back to the A82 and walk about 1/2 mile into Drumnadrochit where we all gather at the Benleva Hotel for some much needed beer, and a chance to remove the walking boots.
It is relatively early and we have a chance to revive ourselves in the bar with more beers from the Isle of Skye Brewery – Red Cuillin, Black Gold and Tradewinds – marvellous stuff. By dinnertime we are starving – so we all go to Fiddler’s Highland Restaurant for a superb meal – medium rare steak and bottle or two of merlot! If you are in Drumnadrochit – check out this resaturant.
We have two nights in the Benleva – as the final two days are two short 9 mile ambles – tomorrow we are going to Woodend, and the final leg will be from Woodend to Inverness.
