Discover intriguing sculptures in this riverside forest

Feshiebridge is part of a beautiful, peaceful forest that washes against the great bulk of the Cairngorm mountains.

Frank Bruce Sculpture Trail

A trail notice is in effect

There is a lot of small debris on the trails, please exercise caution after the high winds.

A winding path through tall trees. This is the perfect spot for quiet reflection and getting close to nature. Most of the Frank Bruce sculptures have now been lowered to the ground for safety reasons. This is in accordance with the artist’s wishes for the artwork to naturally return to the earth.

The path is firm, smooth and generally flat with some short gentle gradients. This path is not waymarked.

1 miles / 1.6 km

Allow
¾ hour
