Recreation at Achairn Forest
 

The forest road leading from the car park heads deep into Achairn Forest, in places running along the banks of the Achairn Burn. The meadows along the side of the burn are abundant with wild flowers and rich in insect life in the summer. By 2005 we are hoping this forest road will link through to the public road at Blingery to the North.

How to get there:

Achairn Forest is part of Caithness. Lairg is the nearest town or village.

1 Mile North of the Grey Cairns of Camster at forest entry waymark No 13
