While staying on Corrour Estate, there are a lot of significant places of interest which can be visited during your stay:-
A few miles west of Corrour lies Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Great Britiain (4,406 feet). The bare peak is often snow covered even in the summer months and because of the changeable weather, it is advisable to have alpine equipment for the four hour climb. Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, is one of the main tourist attractions on the west coast and is also an outdoor and winter sports centre.
The Glenfinnan Monument is west of Fort William and is one of the most recognisable of all Scottish monuments. Prince Charlie managed to inspire the confidence and support of the loyal clansmen and it was here they rallied in support of the Stewart monarchy after the defiant raising of the Royal Standard on 19 August 1745.
The Commando Memorial, not far from Corrour on the way westwards, commemorates the soldiers fall during the Second World War who trained here for their missions. You also have magnificent views over the highest mountain in Great Britain.
The small village of Drumnadrochit on the shores of Loch Ness hosts the Loch Ness Monster Exhibition Centre. South of Drumnadrochit lies the ruin of Urquhart Castle, overlooking the loch.
In Kingussie, which lies north east of Corrour, the Highland Folk Museum provides information about the daily life in the Highlands.
Aviemore, which lies north east of Kingussie, is a centre for winter sports. A museum steam locomotive goes along a 6 mile track to the Boat of Garten. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty, on the edge of one of the largest remaining remnants of Caledonian Pine forests.
Blair Atholl, which lies east of Corrour, is a castle with 32 rooms full of exquisite treasures and the grand hall has an outstanding display of deer trophies and military equipment. On the last Saturday in May, the private army of the Duke of Atholl (the only private army in Great Britain) parades on the grounds. The next day the Highlands Games take place.
In Pitlochry, which lies south east of Blair Atholl, there is the rare opportunity to watch salmon swimming up the river on their way to the spawning grounds. In the hydro-electric power station, you can view the spectacle through two glass panels in the dam walls.
