Help connect Spean Bridge

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Spean Bridge’s Slow Ways.

View facilities

From Gairlochy, the path to Spean Bridge follows the minor B8004 road with some great views across to Ben Nevis (Photo 1).
