"Chase the Wild Goose is a great
hostel in a great location - very near Fort William, Ben Nevis which makes a spectacular
backdrop to the hostel. I would definitely recommend staying here!"

The Highlands of Scotland are Beautiful and
tranquil...yet are dramatic, enduring and ruggedly wild! We can help you
relax, or live life to the MAX! |
|
We are located in what could be described as the most beautiful part
of Scotland. Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, is seen in all
its majesty in the near-distance. Visit Glen Nevis for rope walking and waterfalls. The
Caledonian
Canal, extending from Loch Eil to Loch Ness and on to
Inverness, runs virtually by the door (100m). Nearby is the 'Outdoor
Capital of the UK' Fort William. Follow the 'Road to the Isles' to Skye and
beyond. We are easily accessed by City-link bus from Skye,
Inverness, Oban and Glasgow, and by train from Mallaig, Road to the Iles or
Fort William and the South.

We are easily accessible from the Isle of Skye (41
miles), Oban (47 miles) Inverness (66 miles) and Glasgow... when you're here
the city can seem like a million miles away
There is a spacious free car park
at Banavie and a children's play area. A short walk from the car park leads
to the Canal lock gates, where one can spend time watching vessels navigate
the lock gates. It's a nice walk or cycle from Banavie into Fort William via Caol village, or visa versa.
There's an award winning village pub,
the Lochy, located just 300 metres from the hostel and and a
hundred yards from the magnificent Neptune's Staircase on the Caledonian
Canal.
When visiting the Fort William
area stop off to look around Old Inverlochy Castle. Although now a ruin
this was one of the most important castles in Scottish history and has been
the backdrop for two major historical events, the first and second battles of
Inverlochy.
Leave all stress behind...
OR go for the MAX!
