Great Glen Woods
 

Colour rating today: turned golden turned golden
Port Clair wood has magnificent Douglas fir and areas of deciduous woodland - great for autumn colours - best seen from the south side of Loch Ness. There is a carpark with a waymarked walk. Farigaig Forest is a varied mix of planted conifers of different ages and native broadleaved woodlands. Many animals and birds thrive here. There are spectacular viewpoints - but Farigaig's autumn colours are best viewed from north Loch Ness. Farigaig is adjacent to the B852, near Inverfarigaig,with a carpark, picnic area, toilets and a network of waymarked walks.
