Highland Lodges Landscape

Loch Ness, Loch Oich and Loch Lochy.
Loch Lochy is the most southerly in the glen. It is 15.7km in length and 2km in width in certain parts. It has a maximum depth of 162 metres. For the keen angler fishing is free on Loch Lochy and with a private and secluded pebbled beach you know you can enjoy your day peacefully.
The Loch offers a abundance of native fish including: Salmon, Brown Trout, Artic Charr, Eels, Stone Loach, Minnow, Lamprey, Pike and the non native Rainbow Trout.
Out and About at Highland Lodges
Wildlife is thriving around the site especially at dawn and dusk.
Pine Martins emerge at dusk seeking food. Once a threatened species, the
population has increased and these creatures seem to attract a lot of
interest from our visitors.
In the sky, Golden and Sea Eagles can be seen as with Osprey and deer which come down from the mountain tops to seek shelter. These are but a few of the wildlife that inhabit the region.
Further afield on the shores of the Moray Firth, bottle nose dolphins, sea otters, seals and abundance of bird species. Whatever your preference there’s plenty of boat trips to take you further afield to experience the unique wildlife of the area.
The lodges are sited for easy access to Fort William some 22 miles away. Fort William provides for all tastes, whether seeking a leisurely stroll or a challenging walk up Ben Nevis or perhaps a bit of shopping. Lots to see and well worth a visit.
