Not far from the front door is the Devil’s Staircase: an historic, 9km route connecting the town of Altnafeadh to Kinlochleven. Wildly anticipated along the West Highlands Way, this steep path is believed to have acquired its name from the lethal journey made by local workers after spending their day’s wages at the pub.

Gaelic for ‘glen of weeping’, some believe this is how the area got its name.
