unrated)About Tweedmouth Walk
This is the longer walk from the carpark passing Plodda Falls. It takes you through diverse woodland, with many of the trees planted for the grand landscaping plans of Lord Tweedmouth.
The towering stems of Douglas fir are some of the highest quality in Britain and at around 200m tall are nearing some of the tallest too.
Also look out for the old carriage drive of Guisachan Estate and a couple of its distinctive houses.
How to get there:
Tweedmouth Walk can be started from Plodda Falls Carpark in Plodda which is part of Guisachan. Tomich, Cannich, Struy, Balnain, Drumnadrochit, and Inverness are the nearest towns or villages.
From the A831, from either Beauly or Drumnadrochit, take the unclassified road signposted to Tomich. Go through Tomich and continue along the bumpy forest track. Plodda falls carpark is 3.5 miles along this road.
There is an infrequent bus service from Inverness as far as Tomich.
