Departure:
The departure point is 9 miles from Inverness city centre, so requires you to travel by car. You can find us on Google Maps - Loch Ness by Jacobite Clansman Harbour, or by using What3Words:
Parking facilities are available at Clansman Harbour. This is free of charge, however, can be limited during peak season. We recommend you arrive 45 minutes before your departure time. There are no bike racks available at The Clansman Hotel. Should you be re-directed to the overflow carpark, this is approximately a 15-minute walk, on uneven terrain to the harbour.
