Loch Ness train stations
Walking distances are estimates from the straight-line distance and the type of ground, not a measured route. Check a map before you set off.
There-and-back walks
The lakeside path doesn't go all the way round Loch Ness, so these walks head out along it and come back the same way. No station is within 5 miles of Loch Ness, so this is a longer walk from the nearest one. Split it over two days if you like.
| Station | Along the lakeside path | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inverness7.5 to 8.5 mi on foot each way to the shore | 2.0 mi and back | 19 to 21 mi | about 6.5 to 7 hours |
Times use Naismith's rule and don't include stops.
