Great Glen Way set for major upgrade with new off road route
Published: Friday, 13 February 2026
A new path will be constructed between Grotaig and Drumnadrochit, providing users with an alternative to travelling along the lengthy section of road.
The Highland Council has commenced a significant improvement project on the Great Glen Way that will remove more than 3km of the route from the public road.

Working in partnership with Bunloit Estate managers, Highlands Rewilding, the Council has developed a new off‑road alternative that will provide a safer and more rewarding experience for users.
