By Road
There are 2 main routes by which to approach the
area:-
Firstly, the more scenic, but rather slower,
route follows the A82 along the shores of Loch Lomond, over Rannoch
Moor and through Glen Coe to Fort William; thence, continuing on the
A82 north to Invergarry, and then via the A87 and A890/A896. From
Fort William onwards, you will pass several well-known landmarks on
the way - the Commando Monument at Spean Bridge, Cluanie Inn,
the 5 Sisters of Kintail, and Eilean Donan Castle.
Secondly, the somewhat faster, albeit further,
route, which quite simply takes the A9 north from Perth to
Inverness, thence via the A835 to Garve, the A832 to Achnasheen, and
finally the A890/A896. This route encompasses mostly good fast
roads, although the single carriageway sections of the A9 can
sometimes seem frustratingly slow in heavy traffic.

By Rail
For railway
enthusiasts, we have the famous Kyle Line which featured as one of
Michael Palin’s “Great Railway Journeys of the World”.
This line runs from Inverness (from where there are rail links
to the rest of the UK) to Kyle of Lochalsh and passes through some
of the most spectacular scenery in Europe.
The nearest railway station to Lochcarron is at Strathcarron,
just 3 miles away. There is a local bus service which meets up with
the train.
