Water Fountain

Highlight • Rest Area

Looks like the owners of the Eco Cafe have set up a tap for passer by’s to fill up their water bottles. I didn’t need a top up so I can’t vouch for the purity but could be useful for topping up supplies.

Abriachan Eco-Campsite Café

Highlight • Cafe

If you are on the Great Glen Way, you should definitely take a break here. Absolutely worth seeing and experiencing. Fits in any category of campsite or cafe I know. I would describe it as an organic farm - hippie - forest camping with a cafe and you feel as if you are visiting very dear grandparents. The two hosts, an older couple, are incredibly hospitable and come with each conversation. Each guest is asked what his name is, where he comes from, where he goes and they tell little stories. There are homemade cakes and freshly prepared soup.
The simple wooden tables and benches stand in a clearing between bushes and trees near a pool. There are chickens everywhere and, as a special attraction, a really big, black pig.

Who hikes along the Great Glen Way definitely should take brake here. Absolutely worth to see and to experience. It does not fit in any category of campsite or cafe I know. I would describe it as Ecofarm-Hippie-Woodcamping with Cafe and it feels like visiting very lovely grandparents. The hosts, an elderly couple, are incredibly hospitable and get into a conversation with everyone. Everybody wants to be asked for the name, where he or she comes from and where they go as well as they like their own stories. The homemade cake on soup.
The simple wooden tables and benches are placed on a clearing between the trees and bushes near a small tarn. Everywhere chickens are running around and getting a big, black pig.

The Great Glen Way

Highlight • Trail

The Great Glen Way covers 79 miles of path, track, canal and loch and can be undertaken by bike, on foot or by boat. Whichever way you travel it's an amazing adventure, especially if you wild camp en route. The cycle trail forms part of the 234-mile Caledonia Way, so can be turned into a multi-day bikepacking trip taking in plenty of Scotland's scenic landscapes.

This is a steep climb from Loch Ness , but hard work gets to the top and some beautiful views. Keep on the road and you can branch to Beauly or back to Inverness
