A steep hike in the Cairngorms

From Glen Coe and Fort William, you can take the famed ‘Road to the Isles’, with thoughts of Bonnie Prince Charlie in mind. The route goes past Neptune’s Staircase, a series of eight lochs, designed by Thomas Telford as part of the Caledonian Canal. The road turns west to Glenfinnan (site of a memorial to fallen clansmen at the Battle of Culloden; for more information, click here) and north along the coast to Morar, with its white sandy beaches. One of Scotland’s deepest lochs, Loch Morar, like Loch Ness, has its own monster, Morag. The end of the road is Mallaig , [map], a little town with a picturesque harbour, where the ferry departs for Skye and other Hebridean islands.
