Glenuig Inn well worth booking ahead for delicious food and great beer in a beautiful setting! Don’t forget to call in at Glenuig Smokehouse for some fine foods and coffee too.

Finally, check out any events happening in Glenuig Hall - a jewel of a local arts venue.

Steam train loved by Harry Potter fans as it was used as the "Hogwarts Express" and you'll recognise the visually stunning feat of engineering, the Glenfinnan Viaduct. One of the great railway journeys.
