Caledonia Way at Appin The Caledonia Way (National Cycle Network route 78) runs from Campbeltown to Inverness. Over the section between Oban and Fort William it makes much use of the trackbed of the old Oban to Ballachulish railway (closed 1966). A distinctive feature of the route are the wrought iron access controls - every one different.
