Fort William

[neonwilderness]

I'm in Scotland for a few days next week and I'm looking for places in a reasonable driving distance from Fort William to do some photography. I've got a few areas in mind, but am open to urb suggestions too.

I'm quite tempted to go over to Skye, but I think I'll save that for a longer trip.

Have you absolutely ruled out Glen Coe?

Have you absolutely ruled out Glen Coe?

A colleague recommended looking around the Ballachulish area, so that's already on my list

The road up to Mallaig is nice.

I'm not sure you can go wrong whichever way you drive from Fort William to be honest

Just go in any direction. You'll find something to photograph. Glen Coe to Tyndrum is fab.

It's a beautiful place, my experience was a little unfortunate though. I got arrested and spent two nights in the lock up there

Think I'll do Glen Coe area one day and towards Mallaig the next

Catching the sleeper south as well, so that should also be good

if i can stick in a late recomendation - the road to Sanna.

the quicker way is the Mallaig road, but get off at Loch Ailort and go down through Acharacle and Kilchoan, the more romantic way is down to Ballachulish, get the ferry across Loch Linnhe and go through Strontian. it makes the Mallaig road look like the M25...

I'll probably heading back up at some point, so I'll bear this one in mind for then

Remember the Nevis Bakery for its excellent Steak pies.

If you go there, you will travel over a section of road near Glenborrodale that I was Agent on, 41 years ago.
