Getting here
By car
Our postcode for satnav is IV54 8YR. From the south, there are two ways to get to us:
From Glasgow, take the A82 along the shores of Loch Lomond, over Rannoch Moor and through Glen Coe to Fort William. Stay on the A82 north to Invergarry and then via the A87 and A890. From Fort William onwards, you will pass several well-known landmarks on the way - the Commando Monument at Spean Bridge, Cluanie Inn, the Five Sisters of Kintail, and Eilean Donan Castle.
Or, take the A9 north from Perth to just north of Inverness, then via the A835 to Garve, the A832 to Achnasheen, and finally the A890. This route is further but often faster and has several good stopping-off points along the way – Dunkeld, Pitlochry, Aviemore or Inverness, for example.
By rail
By far the easiest (and greenest) way to arrive at Strathcarron Station House is by train. The four trains per day from Inverness drop you right outside the building! Trains leave Inverness at 0855, 1056, 1335 and 1754, taking around one hour and 50 minutes for the journey.
Inverness has regular services from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen and has two trains per day from London – the Highland Chieftain which leaves King’s Cross at 1200 and runs via York and Newcastle and the Caledonian Sleeper which runs overnight from London Euston via Crewe, Preston and Carlisle. Find details of all rail services at nationalrail.co.uk or the various rail company sites.
