The Highlands

↓

Loch Laggan is especially remarkable for its dramatic Highland setting, lying deep within the vast wilderness of the central Scottish Highlands.

From the south-facing windows of our ten-bedroom Highland lodge, you can enjoy views of the spectacular Munro Beinn a’ Chlachair. Moy Cottage, our self-catering holiday home, sits within the same dramatic Highland landscape.

The loch feels wonderfully remote and untouched, with changing light and weather constantly transforming the scenery from calm silvery waters to wild, windswept beauty.

Welcome to the
Scottish Highlands

From gentle strolls
to wild adventures

The Lodge’s location just west of Cairngorms National Park gives it an immense sense of scale and solitude, while the magnificent Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve lies almost on the doorstep, providing a spectacular backdrop of dramatic ridges and deep corries that makes the Lodge feel both wild and deeply connected to nature.

Whether you come for hiking, stalking, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, whisky touring or simply to unwind in the heart of the Highlands, Moy Lodge offers a rare opportunity to experience Scotland at its most authentic and unspoilt.

Some things to do
while you're in the North

Hiking

Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve is on your doorstep. The walk to Coire Ardair — about 6.5 miles and a thoroughly enjoyable four hours — is one of those routes that never gets old, winding up through the glen to one of the most dramatic hidden corries in the Highlands. If that’s whetted the appetite, the full day out takes in three Munros across 13 miles — a big, rewarding day on the hill by any measure — and with a drop-off at the car park, you can walk the whole way home to the Lodge and a hot shower. Just go carefully near the top: the cliffs and winter cornices on Creag Meagaidh are the real deal, and the plateau has a habit of losing people in mist and bad light. Pick your day, tell someone where you’re going, bring a torch in the autumn and you’re in for a treat. Climb Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain. The start of the climb is only 35 minutes’ drive from the Lodge.

Sea Kayaking

Enjoy sea kayaking in some of Scotland’s most picturesque spots, including the turquoise waters around the skerries near Arisaig. Local operators offer trips to suit a range of ages and abilities.

Boat Trips

Drive 35 minutes to Fort William and take a high-speed boat trip to look for seals and enjoy the rugged beauty of Scotland’s west coast.

Scotch Malt Whisky Tours

Immerse yourself in an exploration of the iconic Dalwhinnie Distillery, with a guided tour through the science and history of its single malt whisky — and, of course, a tasting.

Golf

Scotland is the home of golf, and there are countless beautiful courses nearby to enjoy. From the local courses at Spean Bridge and Kingussie to the grander courses at Grantown-on-Spey and Blair Atholl, all can be found within an easy drive of the Lodge.

Train Trips

Take the train from Tulloch Station to Corrour Station — a spectacular short journey through some of the Highlands’ most remote scenery. Enjoy lunch at the excellent Station House before catching a train back.

Corrour is the UK’s highest railway station and one of its most remote, and is well known as the spot where Renton and Begbie step off the train in Trainspotting. The Station House is seasonal, so check current opening dates and train times before setting out.

Alternatively, take the world-famous Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig and back. The journey takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Highlands, passing the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct — instantly recognisable from the Harry Potter films.

Along the route you’ll see remote beaches, heather-covered hills, ancient forests and sweeping sea views towards the Isles. The fishing port of Mallaig is the perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood and wander the harbour before the return journey through the Highlands by steam train.

Go-karting and Mountain Carting

Enjoy an exciting day at Cairngorm Mountain, where older children and adults can race downhill on mountain carts. Younger children will love the tubing slides, offering fast-paced fun for all the family. Activities are seasonal and weather-dependent.

Alternatively, challenge friends and family at Aviemore Kart Raceway, with karting available for everyone from young children to adults.

Search for the Loch Ness Monster

Take a 50-minute drive to Fort Augustus, on the southern tip of Loch Ness. Here you can enjoy the canalside village, with its visitor centre and cafés, before setting out on a RIB or day cruiser to look for the elusive Loch Ness Monster and, depending on the route, see Urquhart Castle from the water.
