Banavie

Banavie

Banavie (Scottish Gaelic: Bainbhidh or Banbhaidh) is a small settlement near Fort William in the Highland Region of Scotland.

It was formerly where the Camanachd Association, the ruling body of shinty was based, but this has now been moved to Inverness.

Banavie railway station is on the highly scenic West Highland Line.

Neptune's Staircase, the longest staircase lock in the United Kingdom, is nearby on the Caledonian Canal.
