Please will somebody put some photos of the Spiral Walk on this webpage? Would really like to 'see' it though I live far away. Thanks!

Short but charming wee walk. An unusual concept, and well worth stopping for.

There is also a beautiful book to accompany the trail which explains the links between native trees and the Gaelic alphabet.
