I'm trying to put together an off roadish loop from Pitlochry - Bridge of Orchy - Fort William - Loch Laggan - Culra Bothy - Dalwhinnie - Pitlochry. Some bits are paved, some LRT.

The part I'm uncertain of is the section between Fort William and the west end of Loch Laggan. I seem to have a recollection that there was a bike path part of the way, but I can't seem to find any info on it. Did I imagine it?

dont think so.
we did offroad from spean bridge to roy bridge, but then used the road to fersit, when we rode up there.

edit that
from torlundy to roy bridge.

Don't think there is anything signposted/ waymarked. But you can go through Leanachan forest and up the south side of the Spean to Monnessie then onto the A86 from there to Fersit. You're on the A86 for about 5k then come off at Fersit and through the forest to Laggan Dam. It's a fair few years since I did it but it all "worked".

Actually - think this is what you are after?

And looks like the Fersit gap is filled.

Stu_N that's the ticket!

This is looking like a really good loop now.
