Find peace off the beaten track near Loch Ness

This peaceful spot is at the heart of two great long-distance walking routes. The Affric Kintail Way passes right through the forest, and you can also use the trails to join the Great Glen Way. Or stretch your legs on the Loch Meiklie View Trail and explore the network of informal forest tracks.
