In 2002, the business expanded to include a baggage transfer service for all 79 miles of the Great Glen Way.

...More About Loch Ness Hub
In 2018, the Glen Urquhart community investigated the possibility of taking over the recently vacant Tourist Information Centre in Drumnadrochit. Under the guidance of the Glen Urquhart Rural Community Association (GURCA), the local community made use of the centre on a trial basis before moving forward with an asset transfer of the building for community ownership. Volunteers decorated the building and local groups used the venue to showcase information and activities of interest to visitors, before committing to full community ownership and opening to the public as Loch Ness Hub. To ensure the project was sustainable in the long-term, Loch Ness Hub Ltd was established as a community benefit company to raise funds for the purchase of Loch Ness Travel through a Community Share Offer in 2020. The initiative successfully raised its maximum target, and with additional funding from SSE and local community charity Soirbheas, the purchase of Loch Ness Travel completed in February 2021.
