Explore the Outdoors: Highland Walks & Nature Watching

The Highlands burst into life in spring, making Easter the ideal time to explore the great outdoors. Lace up your walking boots and discover:

• The Caledonian Canal Path: Beginning just steps from the Highland Club, this scenic towpath offers gentle, family-friendly walks with peaceful views of moored boats and surrounding hills.
  
  
• Loch Ness Viewpoints: Head out for panoramic views over the loch and rolling glens—keep your camera ready for wildlife like red deer, pine martens and soaring golden eagles.
  
  
• Auchteraw Forest Trails: Just outside Fort Augustus, these quiet woodland trails are perfect for birdwatching and peaceful strolls under a canopy of Scots pine.

All Aboard! Take a Covered Cruise on Loch Ness

One of the best all-weather activities this Easter is a covered cruise on Loch Ness, setting sail directly from Fort Augustus. These family-friendly cruises offer heated indoor seating and panoramic views—so you can soak in the legendary beauty of the loch without worrying about the spring chill.

Learn about Loch Ness myths, geology, and wildlife, and maybe even spot Nessie herself! It’s a brilliant way to connect with the area’s history and natural wonders.

Step into History at Urquhart Castle

Just a short drive from Fort Augustus, Urquhart Castle sits proudly on a promontory over Loch Ness. Wander the evocative ruins, climb the Grant Tower for jaw-dropping views, and enjoy the interactive visitor centre.

It’s an excellent Easter day out for families and history lovers alike—especially when paired with a scenic drive along the loch.

Relaxation Awaits: Spa & Swimming Pool Access

After your adventures, return to the Highland Club for a little R&R. Our guests enjoy complimentary access to luxurious leisure facilities, including:

• Heated indoor swimming pool
  
  
• Sauna and steam room
  
  
• Club Lounge for unwinding with a book or board game
  
  

Whether you're visiting with children, grandparents or as a couple, this is the perfect way to recharge after a day exploring the Highlands.

A Family Favourite: Ride the Harry Potter Express Train

Hop aboard the Jacobite Steam Train, famously known as the Harry Potter Express, just 30 minutes from Fort Augustus in Fort William. Running through Easter, this magical journey over the Glenfinnan Viaduct is a treat for children and grown-up fans alike.
