Loch Laggan is especially remarkable for its dramatic Highland setting, lying deep within the vast wilderness of the central Scottish Highlands. The Lodge enjoys views of the spectacular munro Beinn a’ Chlachair from its south facing windows, surrounding itself with one of the most atmospheric landscapes in Scotland. The loch feels wonderfully remote and untouched, with changing light and weather constantly transforming the scenery from calm silver waters to wild, windswept beauty.
Welcome to the
Scottish Highlands
From gentle strolls
to wild adventures
The Lodge’s location along the edge of Cairngorms National Park gives it an immense sense of scale and solitude, while the magnificent Creag Meagaidh Nature Reserve sits quite literally 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, whiskey 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 Nature Reserve is on your doorstep. The walk up to Lochan a’Choire — about 7.5 miles and a thoroughly enjoyable four to five 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 the UK’s highest mountain Ben Nevis. The start of the climb is only 35 minutes’ drive from the Lodge.
Sea Kayaking
Enjoy sea kayaking trips in some of Scotland’s most picturesque spots. Enjoy the turquoise waters of the Skeries near Arisaig. Trips can be arranged to suit all ages and abilities.
Boat Trips
Fort William speed boat adventure. Drive 35 minutes to Fort William and enjoy a high speed boat trip out to see the seals and enjoy the beautiful rugged western coast of Scotland.
Scotch Malt Whisky Tours
Immerse yourself with an in-depth exploration of the iconic Dalwhinnie Distillery, enjoying a guided tour through the science and history of this amber nectar and of course tasting it as well.
Golf
Scotland is the home of golf, and there are countless beautiful courses nearby to enjoy. From our local Spean Bridge or Kingussie Golf Courses to the grander Grantown on Spey and Blair Atholl courses they can all be found within an easy drive of the Lodge.
Train Trips
Take the 12:14 train from Tulloch Station to Corrour Station — a spectacular 15-minute journey through some of the Highlands’ most remote scenery. Enjoy lunch at the excellent station restaurant before catching the 15:24 train back. Corrour is famously the most remote railway station in the UK and is well known as the spot where Renton and Begbie step off the train in the film Trainspotting. This trip can only be enjoyed between April – October when the restaurant is open. Alternatively, take the world-famous Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig and back. Leaving shortly after 10.00, the journey takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Highlands before returning to Fort William around 16.00. As the steam train winds westwards, you’ll pass 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 Karting
Enjoy an exciting day at Cairngorm Mountain, where older children and adults can race downhill on mountain carts. Younger children will love the tubing park, offering fast-paced fun for all the family. Challenge friends and family to a fun-filled day at Aviemore Kart Raceway, with karting suitable 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 cafes before setting out on a Rib or day cruiser to look for the elusive Loch Ness Monster and see the beautiful Urquhart Castle from the water.
