    Hiking

    The Glen Shiel valley is crossed by the A87 road, which reaches a peak of 271 meters two kilometers west of the Cluanie Inn. There are several parking lots and viewpoints along the way, where you can enjoy views of the mountains and the Shiel River. You can also walk along the old military road, which runs parallel to the A87, and was built between 1750 and 1784 by William Caulfeild, General Wade's successor.

    Hiking

    This footpath is so close to the main road, but takes you straight into the wilderness. Most commonly followed to reach the Saddle, it can also take you to the smaller summit of Biod an Fhithich (644m).
