Climb this isolated Munro or enjoy the native woodland on its lower slopes

Ben Wyvis (Bheinn Uais) stands to the north of Inverness. 

Its brooding slopes and high whaleback ridge are magnets for hill walkers. At the top you’ll find magnificent views of the Cairngorm and the Fannichs. You can also enjoy the mountain from the forested lower slopes. Here you’ll find aspen, birch and rowan grow beside a tumbling burn.

Look out for the dotterel, a rare migratory bird, which nests in the fragile carpet moss of the summit ridge.
