Farigaig
 

Farigaig forest contains a very varied mix of planted conifers of different ages and native broadleaved woodlands. The landscape is very diverse and the different habitats make Farigaig a haven for wildlife.

Red squirrels, badgers and many other animals and birds thrive here.

There are also several viewpoints with wonderful views of Loch Ness and an iron-age fort site on the rocky outcrop of Dun Dearduil.
