Off there this weekend (Gairlochy to be exact) and wondered if anyone could give me any recommendations on places to eat/drink and places to visit? I have been to Scotland a few times but im sure theres places where others have been which maybe arent always on the tourist trail or perhaps theres just something that was so good it stands out amongst other things.

I cant climb, walk long distances, jump about or anything like that so no heavy physical activity please

You'll probably find yourself in amongst a lot of bikes up there this weekend

Most places in Fort Augustus are bike friendly and if you head along the A87 towards the west you'll come across Clunie Inn, bike friendly assuming theres not loads of you but I can almost guarantee it'll be mobbed with walkers so don't bank on getting fed too quickly if you stop. Going the other way past Laggan Dam into Newtonmore theres a service place that appears to be a local bike haunt over the weekends and then theres the camp/caravan stop on the B846 near Loch Kinardochy

My mates Mum and Dad run this place in Spean Bridge :

I've stayed there a few times. The welcome is great and the breakfast is fantastic. My mate used to ride an SV, so I'm sure their biker friendly.
