Dochgarroch Locks

Highlight • Rest Area

The first loch on the Caledonain Canal out of Inverness, Dochgarroch is a picturesque spot with moored boats, scattered houses and a backdrop of tree-covered hills. The An Talla (Gathering Place) cafe/restaurant is a nice place to stop for refreshments.

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.
