The
Braes' is set back from the North side of the A86 Spean Bridge
to Newtonmore road (red circle on the map above). We are located
on the eastern outskirts of Spean Bridge village and 3 miles
west of Roy Bridge village.
PLEASE
NOTE : if relying on a satellite navigation device to
get you to 'The Braes', do not turn up to West Tirindrish
which is located approximately 150 metres to the west of us,
up behind the local school. The sat nav will try to send you
up there!

Bridge. After passing the Woollen Mill (on your right) and
the bridge, turn right onto the A86 (you will see the 'Old

passing the School on your left. Just as you leave the village,
you will see 3 houses on your left, and the sign for 'The
Braes' - you're here!
From
Inverness On the A82, you will pass the Commando Memorial
on your right, before descending into Spean Bridge. Before

in front of you). Continue for approximately 800 metres, passing
the School on your left. Just as you leave the village, you

sign on the right hand sign.
Arriving
by Rail
The Caledonian Sleeper train runs directly between London Euston
and Spean Bridge every evening of the week (except Saturday),
meaning you go to sleep in London and wake up in our village.
Having saved a day's travelling, it is a very civilised way
to get here! The daytime rail journey is a real treat too, as
it winds it's way from Glasgow through the Loch Lomond area
and over Rannoch Moor, giving you the opportunity to see sights
not accessible by car. We would be happy to meet you at the
station.
