Newton North Uist Reviews

Newton near the northern tip of Nort Uist, has in a shallow loch at its road end Dun An Sticir, an ancient dun, reached by a causeway. This is said to be the last inhabited dun on the island, its ﬁnal occupant having been Hugh MacDonald. son of Archibald the Clerk, a lineal descendant of MacDonald of Sleat. This Hugh MacDonald claimed rights to part of North Uist and took refuge in the dun (l60l- 2) to defend himself against the rightful heir.

Unfortunately he was betrayed, captured and taken to Skye where he was thrown into the dungeons of Duntulm Castle, and fed on salt beef until he died of thirst. During the summer there is a ferry service between Newton, Berneray and Leverburgh.

Loch Ness Abriachan to Drumnadrochit Great Glen Way

From Abriachan the route starts uphill on a broad but roughly surfaced track (much of the Way is on such tracks so boots are advised). But the last section of the walk is downhill on better paths, to reach the shore of Loch Ness a mile before Drumnadrochit. Unfortunately the last mile is on the pavement bordering the A82(T).

On the A82(T) turn off at grid ref 573350 to climb to Abriachan (a steep and twisty road). Passing Loch Laide on your left, take the first turn-off on your left (542356). The car park is 200m along this forestry road, on your left (this is also the car park for Walk 1531).
At the other end of the walk, park at the Information Centre in Drumnadrochit grid ref (508300).

There is also a bus service between Inverness and Drumnadrochit; but not to Abriachan.

Kinloch Forest to ruin at Rubha Guail walk

Kinloch Forest Latitude: 57.177953 Longitude: -5.802133

This is in Kinloch forest, following Forestry Commission waymarked trails out to Leitir Fura, an abandoned farming township on the coast. The trail starts from Kinloch forest car park, just north of Isleornsay (Eilean Iarmain)

There are information boards about the human and natural history of the area at various stages along the trail, but it is really the scenery that is the star here. Follow the signs out of the car park and onto the forest road, which undulates gently up and down along the side of the loch.

After a couple of kilometres you’ll see a large sign pointing left off the main forest track for the Drovers Road and an information sign just past it. It is the line of this old droving path that you’ll be following to Leitir Fura, and the path starts to steadily climb, contouring around the base of Beinn Bhreac above.

After another kilometre of gentle climbing, passing several handsomely placed benches, there is a signpost indicating a shortcut which takes you back down to the forest road to give a loop of around 5km.

The path starts to descend with some sharp corners and, bursting with wintry zeal, I took these at full tilt to arrive suddenly at the ruins of Leitir Fura. Unlike many townships on Skye, this settlement wasn’t forcibly cleared, but became abandoned as the inhabitants moved away for easier lives away from the harsh subsistence living endured in this rocky, exposed spot. This fact doesn’t make the ruined remains any less interesting.

The drovers’ path that Leitir Fura sits on continues around the coast to Kylerhea, much rougher and unmarked, but it looked like it would be worth further exploration.

Continue down the path and turn right to rejoin the main forest road. Below you on the shoreline are the remains of several slips from which the inhabitants launched boats to fish and, so tales tell, to intercept boats in the sound carrying rum and whisky.

The track contours round the hill, back towards the car park, and towards the sheltered bay of Isle ornsay. The grounds and buildings of Kinloch Lodge are mainly hidden below but you can catch glimpses between the trees of whitewashed houses and the manicured gardens of the hotel below.

Great Glen Way on forest tracks near Loch Laggan

Then through the village of Drumnadrochit at this point a have a very comfortable stay at the steading Highland Glen Lodge Bed and Breakfast before the last leg of your journey carry on from Drumnadrochit up the steep hill to Abriachan, from here the Great Glen Way follows a forest track giving good views of Loch Ness on the way to Inverness capital of the Highlands with good travel links all over Scotland.

This walk demands a good level of fitness not recommended for the novice.

It is a fantastic viewpoint and gives an excellent traverse in combination with Glas Bheinn Mhor, with steep and rocky mountains giving tough walking and very simple scrambling conditions, in certain weather conditions this is a very hard day out, ice axe, crampons and winter kit will be required.
It can take about 7 to 9 hours depending on your ability with a 10 mile Ascent: (1410m)

Glenmore Forest Track

Glenmore Latitude 57.176330 Longitude -3.703380

Glenmore Forest a place to walk located near Aviemore, Glenmore Forest has some of the best preserved areas of ancient Caledonian forestry in the country, much of the area’s former woodland was felled but Glenmore retains many pristine pine, juniper and birch trees from the old forests.

There are some tree roots and stones along the way, but no hills to climb. For a real taste of Glenmore’s mix of forest and hillside, take the Ryvoan trail from the Glenmore Visitor Centre or the Ryvoan car park, there is a lower section on broad, firm forest road ideal for cycling or push chairs the upper section dips and dives across the hillside, the walks are different in length and ability you can do part of the walk or do a circuit to experience this glen and the wild life, here from the birds like Scottish crossbill and crested tit, and offeringa range of different habitats, like wet boggy places among the trees that are perfect for dragonflies and damselflies for you to see.
If you are looking for more of a challenge then head to the open hills that surround the glen at the head for Allt Mor follow the burn to the Coire Cas car park at the foot of the Cairngorm Mountain funicular railway, you can take a train ride up and down the mountain and then walk back down the burn. For the more enthusiastic of you, hike up Meall a’ Bhuchaille the hill of the shepherd straight from Glenmore Visitor Centre. The path doesn’t stop climbing all the way to the top at 2600 ft. offering superb views.

Knock Farril (Knockfarrel) scenic walk

Knockfarrel Latitude: 57.587548 Longitude: -4.495113

Knock Farril (Knockfarrel) is the name of the summit of a ridge called Druim Chat (Cat's Back) to the east of Strathpeffer, Knockfarrel Hill Fort is located at the end of an impressive crag and tail land feature.
The ridge rises very steeply and is crowned by an important vitrified fort.
This fort first attracted the attention of archaeologists as far back as the 1770s. The result was unfortunate as Richard Feachem. in his guide to prehistoric Scotland says. ''The great size of all the remains and the blurring of outlines and details render almost all questions about this fort unanswerable as yet However, those not particularly interested in archaeology can console themselves with excellent views of the countryside from the Cat's Back easily approachable by a footpath from near the centre of Strathpeffer.

Cannich to Athnamulloch walk

The walk skirts round loch Affic with spectacular mountain scenery and views down the long glen.
The public road in from Cannich ends at a Forestry Commission car park.
Two tracks continue on although both are closed to unauthorised vehicles.
Take the left hand one and drop down to a bridge over the River Affric.
Then pass through a high gate and strike out along the forest track.
A few hundred yards on, the track reaches a three way junction.
Take the right hand option here and descend to follow the River Affric west.
The track runs through heather, low shrubs and Scots Pine trees, passing a small lochan on the left half a mile on.
It then rises and falls as it runs by Affric Lodge across the water and, after crossing the Allt Garbh, climbs round a small knoll before running along above the loch.
At the far end of Loch Affric, the track runs above a small strip of sandy beach with a wooden jetty before dropping down to a junction.
Turn right here and follow another track by the river to a cluster of buildings at Athnamulloch.
The way passes between a white cottage and a pair of stone sheds and there are boards here with information on the estate.
Cross the river by the bridge and the track rises up past Strawberry Cottage, a former shepherd's bothy, it skirts round a low hill before striking a straight course west down Glen Affric.
About 500 yards beyond Athnamulloch, a path branches off to the right at Cnoc Fada.
Follow this north past Loch Coulavie, a picturesque and, in parts, reedy lochan which, like Loch Affric, is well stocked with trout.
The way continues through the heather, crossing the Allt Coire Leachavie before flattening off to run along above Loch Affric, the shore below lined with Scots Pines.
As you approach the east end of the loch you can see Affric Lodge, It was built in 1864 by the first Lord Tweedmouth, a keen Victorian sportsman, on an island linked to the north shore by a causeway and the south shore by a bridge, the path then drops down to a shed past a high post and wire fence to meet up with a track at the entrance to the lodge.
Follow this back to the start.
