Home of ancient rituals, geology, and mountain views

There’s plenty in Blackmuir Wood to bring you back again and again. You’ll find an old curling pond by the car park, explore the Touchstone Maze and learn about the Iron Age hill fort. The Touchstone Maze is a fascinating collection of over 80 ancient rocks, laid out as a labyrinth. The stones represent the range of rocks which make up North Scotland, including 3,000-million-year-old Lewisian gneiss, among the oldest rock-types in the world.
