Been here?
A hilltop lay-by with room for several vehicles and wide views across the surrounding landscape. It is set back from the road, so passing traffic usually causes little disturbance, although the location can be very windy. The area is busy with people stopping for photographs during the day, while nights are generally quiet. Three data signal is available.

Amazing view, with a little traffic passing every now and then. But the views make it worthwhile. It is set back from the road, so you do not get the wobble when cars pass. Definitely stopping here again.
I cannot judge whether it is a beautiful place to sleep, but because of the magnificent view it is definitely worth a daytime detour. Depending on the weather, there are views stretching for kilometers and beautiful photo opportunities. Some spaces are sloped and it is very busy, at least during the day.
Amazing! If you don’t like a windy sleep over, maybe keep going further????
This road is very beautiful, with superb landscapes.
super windy so wouldn't stay the night but great spot to venture up the walk to see the 7 lochs... we even spotted a wild deer. easy walk.
Lovely parking area with a beautiful viewpoint and access to a very pleasant little walk!
Stunning views for miles around. Great spot just outside Fort Augustus.
Superb view, though not of Loch Ness! Little traffic on the road at night. Unfortunately, lots of litter.
Beautiful views. A bit of noise from the road but not bad. Horn honker at 8.30am. Doesn't bother me, but if someone has a problem, then come and tell me? Honking your horn is silly and makes me laugh because it achieves nothing hahaha.
stayed here for 2 nights, fantastic spot and maybe in my top 5! just off the road, enough that you didn't get 'the wobble' as cars come past. quiet at night, near to no cars. Three signal was good. we had our 2 little girls with us and they loved it too. a great little walking path there was great!
An extraordinary view, but a very windy area.
