Out and About

Nestling amongst the foothills of some of Britain’s highest mountains Tulloch has some of the best access to areas of mountain and moorland.

Tulloch makes an ideal holiday destination, whether you come for the walking, climbing, fishing, riding, quad biking, any of the other activities available locally, or simply to relax and soak up the beautiful Highland scenery and warm local hospitality.

Ben Nevis and Nevis Range

Nevis Range Ski Resort at Aonach Mor is only 10 miles away and offers all year round access by cable gondolas for skiing and snowboarding during the winter, and nature walks in the summer months. Further details can be found on the Nevis Range website.

Highland Titles

Highland Titles Nature Reserves are an increasingly popular destination. Many of our guests have come to Scotland to visit their wee plot of land at Glencoe which they bought or were given as a gift. The nature reserves make a fantastic destination whether you are a landowner or not.
Highland Titles are perhaps the largest, and certainly the best known, privately managed conservation organisation in Scotland. Why not take home a square foot of Scotland for someone you love?

Eilean Donan at Dusk

Eilean Donan Castle

Eilean Donan is Scotland’s most romantic and recognisable castle. Eilean Donan has been a fortified site for at least eight hundred years, but the present building dates largely from the early 20th century. Today’s castle, which rose from the ruins of it’s predecessor, was rebuilt between 1912 and 1932.

Spean Bridge and the Commando Memorial

Although only a small Highland village, Spean Bridge boasts its own 9 hole golf course plus a fascinating museum dedicated to the Commandos of World War II.

Glenfinnan

On 19 August 1745, at the head of Loch Shiel, Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised his Standard, marking the start of his campaign to restore the exiled Stuarts to the throne. From this spot, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his followers made it as far south as Derby before their eventual defeat the following year at Culloden. The National Trust Visitor centre just opposite the famous monument is the place to learn more about the Jacobites.

West Highland Railway

The West Highland Line is a single track railway that runs from Glasgow to Fort William and then on up to Mallaig. All trains stop at Tulloch Station. The train journey takes you through some of the most isolated and stunning scenery in the Highlands, and in the summertime there is a steam train running between Fort William and Mallaig. The line is ideal for day trips and hiking, and there is a convenient sleeper service that runs between London Euston and Tulloch.

Hillwalking

You can’t help but notice that Tulloch is at the heart of the most magnificent scenary in western Europe and we recommend that you take this opportunity to get out and experience the hills first hand. If you feel the need of a guide, we can recommend Lindsay Boyd, who is the owner of a professionally run guided hill walking business which he started up in 2002. Lindsay is an experienced hill walker who organises and leads trips to the Scottish Highlands throughout the year. The hill walks Lindsay leads, can be organised to suit your requirements – whether for a day or several days. Why not see for yourself at http://www.caledoniahilltreks.com/
