Lochaber

Lochaber


Lochaber, the self-styled ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’, is a large area of mountainous land in the Central / Western Highlands based on Fort William.

As well as Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, the area contains two of the country’s other 4,000 ft peaks, and a plethora of Munros, notable in the Mamores and the Glencoe hills. There are also several excellent Corbetts in Lochaber, especially on the western side of Loch Linnhe in Ardgour and Moidart.

Kinlochleven, a village in the south eastern part of Lochaber, is the location of Waters Cottage, the club’s first Scottish hut. As well as being on the West Highland Way, Kinlochleven gives easy access to the Mamores in particular, as well as the nearby Glencoe peaks.
