South Loch Ness Highland Road
Use the quieter southern side of Loch Ness from Fort Augustus towards Foyers and Dores, finishing at Inverness. Higher inland stretches alternate with wooded lochside country rather than continuous water views.

Highlights along the way
South Loch Ness uplands
The southern-side route climbs through open inland country before reaching the wooded Foyers and Dores sections.
Before you set off
Some sections are narrow and single track. Use passing places correctly and keep them clear; the falls at Foyers require a separate walk. Check current closures and conditions before travel. Estimated time excludes stops and live traffic. Points are through-road references, not parking. Optional town visits may require a separate detour.
