We have three pub/bars and restaurants. One is up at the very small train station and is a great place for food and drinks. Also it's been known for having live music, guitar and even celo playing 'till late. Very good steak and cosey log fires which they have two of. I used to do the dishes there years ago and it has changed hands about three times since I've lived here (about 17yrs).
If you want to catch the train there, you can. You will be able to buy the tickets when you go on the train. It takes about fifteen minutes to get from SpeanBridge to FortWilliam and it doesn't cost mutch. Its just one track and goes from Glasgow to FortWilliam then you can get another one to Malaig ( Mah-laig ) a very nice train journey if you just want to chill and look out the window and take photos. (beutiful honest). I used to go on the Jacobite steam train for a treat with my little boy, he loved it and so did I. Its expensive but worth it I think. I saved up for it because I didn't have the money streight away. even so I would recomend it to anyone.
The only thing I would say about the trains that's not good is that it is expensive to buy things like tea or coffee and also the food is ooooops! I said a bad word sorry! still you can always bring your own food and drink can't you .

Bonny Scotland
My name is Grietje and I live in a small village in Scotland called SpeanBridge. I would like to tell you all about SpeanBridge the people and other places near by. I'm hoping that you will be able to get an idea of where you can stay if you should decide to come visit and where you can go eg: walks and other stuff that might be fun for you.
I will tell you everything I know about this place warts and all. The only thing I would ask of you if you do decide to come here, is that you care about this land I live on. It's clean and beautiful but already some people who have come up to visit us have left litter and have used our lay bys as toilets and leaving rubbish in carry bags . How sad is that, especially since we have plenty of public toilets and places where you can go for a wee and plenty of bins in the village and in town. Sorry I had to mention that it looks horrible and shows disrespect. People I know have been talking about it and it gives tourists a bad name. Like I said, I want you to know everything I know and be open about it.
