River Lochy
The River Lochy flows south-west along the Great Glen from Loch Lochy in Inverness-shire to Loch Linnhe near Fort William. It forms the border between the counties of Inverness and Argyll for the latter half of its course.
Its two major tributaries are the short River Arkaig which drains Loch Arkaig into Loch Lochy and the River Spean which enters on its left bank at Gairlochy. The A830 road crosses the Lochy near its junction with the A82 road by means of the Victoria or Lochy Bridge just north-east of Fort William and the river is bridged again east of Gairlochy by the B8004 road. The only other crossing of the Lochy is a combined rail and foot bridge 500 yds downstream from Victoria Bridge. This span takes the West Highland railway line between Fort William and Mallaig and carries the Great Glen Way national trail.
