At Achnacarry, near Spean Bridge and Loch Arkaig, the Clan Cameron Museum traces the clan’s history through informative displays and Cameron memorabilia. A small exhibition also covers the Commandos who trained in the area during the Second World War. Ask for a map to follow nearby paths with information boards about that training, or walk to Eas Chia-Aig Waterfalls. The route takes about 25 minutes each way, and the bridge at the end of Loch Arkaig gives views across the water. There is a gift shop, a restaurant and free parking.
