Description

A short walk through the spectacular trees of this Forestry Commission wood which is effectively a wild natural garden. The Fraser family, who owned the land for 500 years, planted many species of trees in the early 1800s, many of them newly introduced to the UK at the time. Today many of them are amongst the tallest in the UK at over 200ft. The walk itself follows built paths and is ideal for families. Its sheltered location also makes it a good choice in any weather, as evidenced by the snow in the photographs used to illustrate the walk! The route described is known as the low walk but a short detour to the viewpoint on the high walk is described as a spur at the end of the route.

Access Info

Reelig Glen lies just off the A862 Inverness to Beauly road, about eight miles west of Inverness. Leave the A862 where the road is signposted Moniack and Clunes - keep straight on along this road and the car park is one mile away. There is no public transport to the car park but there is a regular bus service between Inverness and Beauly which passes the road end and will drop / pick up passengers there. This would make the whole walk just over three miles.
