Feedback from a walker:
p143, Map 36. 'The map in the top right hand corner indicates the path to go across the golf course / field, but unfortunately this is now blocked due to building work on new houses. We got sightly lost in this area so possibly a new route to bring you on to the A82 at the bottom of the map on page 144, (map 37), and on to Inverness.'
April
The whole east side of Loch Oich is closed until December 2024 due to logging operations, the Invergarry link is well signed rejoin way at north end of Loch Oich.

p134, Drumnadrochit. Morlea Bed and Breakfast has a new phone number and website address: Tel: +44 (0)1456 450495, Mobile: +44 (0)7956 494358. www.morleabedandbreakfast.co.uk

January 2019
p101-2 Laggan. Forest Lodge Guesthouse offers evening meals & requires 24 hours notice from walkers via email or phone to book this and packed lunches can also be pre ordered. They will collect guests from Laggan Lock if they arrive there before 4pm (a voluntary contribution towards petrol is greatly appreciated eg £2 per person) and guests will need to call on arrival to Laggan Lock.
The Eagle Barge will still be operational in 2019 if guests wish to eat out (calling the barge is a good idea to check if they will be open on the date required).
There will no longer be a restaurant at the Great Glen Water Park as the Loch Oich Bar & Restaurant has closed.
September 2017
p133 Drumnadrochit. The bank at the northern end of the village is now closed and there is no ATM there. The Scotmid still has one.

Dogs on Citylink bus. If you plan to travel to Inverness, park, get the Citylink 19 bus service down the Glen and walk back to your car you cannot do that with a medium or larger sized dog. They don't accept dogs unless secured in a carrier that will fit under your feet on the coach.
