To start your Scottish New Year walking holiday you make your own way to Fort William or Glasgow in Scotland. There is an optional pickup from Glasgow Queens Street train station at 3:30pm and from Glasgow Airport at 4:30pm to transfer you to Fort William. The evening meal at the hotel is a good opportunity to meet our rep and the other walkers.
After breakfast our minibus will leave at 9.30am for an optional walk along Loch Lochy and through South Laggan Forest. A packed lunch is included. If you wish to stay in the hotel today, luncheon is included. The minibus will return around 4pm so there is plenty of time to make full use of the leisure club before inclusive dinner.
After breakfast our minibus will leave for an optional walk up Glen Nevis, through the Nevis Forest, around Cow Hill and along part of the West Highland Way. The walk returns along the shore of Loch Linnhe and through Fort William (shopping opportunity for those in need!) The minibus returns around 4pm for those wanting to use the leisure club before dinner.
After breakfast at 9:30am our minibus will leave for an optional walk to the eight cascades which make up the Inchree Waterfalls. Then we take a ferry across Loch Linnhe and pop into a pub for a drink with our packed lunches. In the afternoon we take a stroll around Ardgour to visit the 'kettle holes'and the banks of Loch Linnhe. We will return to the hotel in time to enjoy the facilities of the leisure club before the Hogmanay celebrations.

Year's Day.

Glenfinnan at the head of Loch Shiel to see the famous Glenfinnan Monument
