About Glen Orchy and Glen Lochy
Please note that there are currently Forest Operations taking place in Glen Orchy and on the access hill to Ben Lui and that the paths are closed.
Many thanks for your co-operation. We will update you as soon as forest operations cease.
The forests of Glen Orchy and Glen Lochy provide great opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and amateur naturalists alike.
There are nature trails through ancient oakwoods and good walking into remote country.
There are two remnants of the old Caledonian Pine Forest which are now protected as Caledonian Forest Reserves.
The West Highland Way passes through a corner of the forest and there are riverside picnic sites for warm summer days.
Cycle route closure
