About Lochside Trail
We are redoing the trails at Cambus O'May soon. This route is currently waymarked with temporary signs. We apologise for any inconvenience.
This short trail begins by leading you along a glacial ridge, with superb views south into the Dee valley. On a fine day you'll see Lochnagar in the distance.
The trail then turns right and goes past a shallow lochan, created by a glacial kettle-hole. Cross over the bridge and return to the car park by the old quarry road.
