Plan around this
Allow extra time around Fort William and the Road to the Isles in late August
A82 through Fort William and approaches; A830 Road to the Isles near the A82/A830 junction and Lochaber High School
What has changed
Highland schools return on Wednesday 19 August while the summer visitor season remains busy. This can add peak-time pressure around Fort William and the A830 Road to the Isles approach, including the busy junction near Lochaber High School.
What you should do
Avoid peak travel times through Fort William and on the A830 approach where possible, and allow extra journey time until the end of August.
