Explore the Highlands

Lawriestone Guest House is near attractions like the Treasures of the Earth (Europe's finest private collection of crystals, gemstones, and fossils). Take the scenic Road to the Isles to Mallaig (45 miles) and enjoy beaches such as the Silver Sands at Morar. Day trips on the steam train are available during the summer months. Neptune's Staircase, a series of lock gates on the Caledonian Canal, is 4 miles from Fort William. The Commando Memorial overlooks Spean Bridge. Glenfinnan Monument is only 25 minutes along the Road to the Isles. Oban Airport is 59 km from the guest house.

“Lawriestone Guest House strikes me as a particularly charming base for exploring Fort William, situated conveniently close to the town center with views overlooking the loch. I noticed that the hosts are attentive, and the house boasts comfortable, well-appointed rooms. It's the kind of place that seems ideal for a peaceful getaway in the Scottish Highlands.”
