Dramatic gorge and glen in native woodland

Stroll through peaceful oak, willow and birch woods that cloak the secluded gorge of Allt a’Mhuilinn. There's a young regenerating native forest, with bluebells and ransoms (wild garlic) that transform the forest floor here in Spring. 

When you reach the higher points of the trail you can see across to the solitary Munro Beinn Sgulaird. An impressive hill that dominates the glen. There are also glimpses of beautiful Glen Ure, once home to the government factor Colin Roy Campbell (The Red Fox). Campbell's murder in 1752 inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Kidnapped.
