About Glen Creran
Located in a beautifully secluded area of North Argyll, Glen Creran boasts an example of Scotland's very own rainforest, the Atlantic Oakwoods.
Here you can see native wildlife making its home in this newly restored landscape.
The Pine Marten Trail
The main trail here is the Pine Marten Trail which starts from Elleric Car Park.
Glen Ure was the home of Colin Campbell of Glenure - the victim of the notorious 1752 Appin Murder and the 'Red Fox' of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Kidnapped'.
Along the walk you can find out about the Last Clansman Trail, an initiative which links other sites featured in the story together - such as Leitir Mhor, Cnap a'Chaolais (where James Stewart was executed for the murder) and Gleann Duror.
How to get there:
Appin and Barcaldine is the nearest town or village.
From the south, east and west follow the A828 towards Appin and Fort William. Go across the Creagan bridge and turn right at the roundabout for Invercreran.
From Fort William and Appin, turn left at this roundabout. After two miles, bear left onto the single track road and continue up the Glen to the car park at the end of the public road.
