You can approach from the south via Inverness or from the west via Drumnadrochit and Cannich. We have a fairly steep driveway up to the cabins so we have designed a winter parking area at the bottom should any spells of significant snowfall prevent guests from accessing the site using their own vehicle. In such an event, an Eagle Brae all-terrain vehicle will take you and your baggage up to your log home.
For SatNav users our post code is IV4 7LE.

Eagle Brae is 45 minute’s drive north-west of the city of Inverness, between the spectacular Glens Affric and Strathfarrar. Several nearby munros offer the perfect challenge for energetic Eagle Brae adventurers. Three major lochs feed into the Rivers Farrar and Glass, providing excellent salmon fishing on Eagle Brae’s own private beats. And the nearby indigenous pinewood forest of Strathfarrar and the regenerating wildflower grasslands in Strathglass are the perfect places to wander in peaceful tranquillity.
Easy to get to, yet hidden away in the wilderness, Eagle Brae is just 23 miles from Inverness train station and 30 miles from Inverness Airport.
