Directions to The Glencoe Inn & Gathering
The main road through Glencoe is the A82 which snakes its way through the mountain passes, glens and over moors as it connects the cities of Glasgow to the south and Inverness to the north. If you are travelling from the south follow the A82 then at the Tyndrum junction follow the road in the direction of Fort William continuing on the A82. Once you have driven through Glen Coe and into the village itself, pass the filling station on the left and The Glencoe Inn is a further 100 metres on left hand side. If you are coming from the north take the A82 south from Fort William, The Glencoe Inn is located on the right hand as you enter Glencoe Village. The closest train station is in Fort William.
