Glasgow to Fort William

This breathtaking 140-mile road trip follows the A82 and takes you from Glasgow right up into the Scottish Highlands. Often called the gateway to the Highlands, it takes about three hours, but allow for much longer because you won't be able to resist the urge to stop off along the way to take in the amazing views.

The route takes you northbound on the A82, and on the way you will see Loch Lomond, Loch Ness and Ben Nevis - the tallest mountain in the British Isles.

You'll also pass through Tarbet, Crianlarich, Tyndrum and Rannoch Moor, before reaching Glen Coe. Then it's on to South Ballachulish and Loch Leven, before following the banks of Loch Linnhe to Fort William.
