The easiest approach is from the northeast via Inverness and Beauly. For some guests coming to us from the west it is also possible to approach from Loch Ness 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.

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.

But for guests who do want to venture out and explore the surrounding Scottish Highlands location, our closest village is nearby Beauly (just 13 miles away), where there is a railway station, a number of shops, eateries and other amenities.
