South Loch Ness Trail

Faragaig is a highlight along the South Loch Ness Trail. This 28 mile (45km) route links Loch Tarff near Fort Augustus with Torbreck on the edge of Inverness. It roughly follows the line of the historic General Wade’s Military Road along the loch shore.

More trails from Faragaig

There is a network of paths from the Faragaig car park as well as our waymarked trail, including a link over the hill to nearby Foyers. The Highland Council’s Paths around Foyers leaflet gives you more information.
