Overview

Listed by "Condé Nast Traveler" in their 2003 Gold List/The World's Best Places to Stay, set amidst breathtaking scenery, Inverlochy Castle is unquestionably Scotland's finest country house hotel.

Location

Inverlochy was built in 1863 by the first Lord Abinger, near the site of the original 13th century fortress. In September 1873 during a trip to Balmoral, Queen Victoria spent a week at Inverlochy sketching and painting where she wrote in her diaries  'I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot'. Today, although still nestling in the breathtaking foothills of the mighty Ben Nevis, Inverlochy Castle is only 4 miles from Fort William town centre on the A82 road from Glasgow to Inverness. An alternative road from Edinburgh or Perth is the A9 via Dalwhinnie.
