A861, PH33 7AL, Fort William
Been here?
A small roadside parking area beside a loch, with a beautiful view and the Jacobite train visible across the river. The ground can be very sloped, muddy and difficult to climb in rain, although parking higher up may be flatter and more sheltered. The road is close and traffic can pass at high speed, causing noise and movement through the night.

Very beautiful view over the loch, but the ground is very steep and difficult to climb in the rain. There were garbage bags when we arrived.Translating
Great view, next to lake shore. Space very close to the road but you can park up the hill.Translating
Quiet road, with a view of the lake and the railway on the other side. We drove the van higher up the mound, which allowed us to be more hidden while remaining level.Translating
Pretty flat area with a nice view. However very close to the road and it feels like a racetrack with cars going by with over 60 mph speeds.Translating
Great view of the loch and you can see the Jacobite train go past! The road is not quiet and cars go by at speed so the van moves a lot and is disruptive in the night. Translating
Didn't like the look of this as it blocked a forest track. So we moved on. Translating
The view is absolutely beautiful and a very peaceful night sleep was had. We stayed up the hill, a little muddy and not something I would attempt again, it is very uneven and lots of rubbish had been left here, we have collected two bags and it is now hopefully clean again. I would not want to stay at the lower area right next to the road as it was busy until around 10pm and again from 5am. Translating
Very beautiful spot beside the road, which is busy during the day.Translating
Nice spot, with the possibility of going a little higher to get farther from the road.Translating
The road was extremely busy until late in the evening and from early morning, with cars passing regularly from around 4 a.m. They were traveling at high speed, and the airflow made the whole van shake each time. Apart from that, it was very noisy. On top of that, a passing car honked at us at 6:30. It was not a pleasant night, though possible as an emergency overnight stop.Translating
