About Daviot Wood

Daviot Wood lies to the south of Inverness on the ridge between Strathnairn and Loch Ness.

The forest walks allow visitors and locals alike to enjoy the peace and quiet of a semi-mature pine forest with opportunities for relaxation following the rigours of driving along the A9.

The wood supports a diverse range of wildlife, invertebrates, birds and animals. If you are quiet, you may see red squirrels and roe deer.

There are new waymarked forest links between the City of Inverness and Daviot village.

How to get there:

Inverness is the nearest town or village.

Daviot Wood is accessed from the car park beside the Tourist Information Centre on the north-bound side of the A9, some five miles to the south of Inverness.

From Inverness, it is necessary to travel south on the A9 to the turn-off into Daviot village. Turn back towards Inverness on the north-bound carriageway and after approximately one mile, turn left into the Tourist Information Centre.

Had a lovely walk there today. No obvious dog mess - perhaps it has improved? Will be going back, while we are on holiday in the area.

Lovely spot, nice wee picnic spot too, great to go running/cycling/walking. The only thing that spoils it is the amount of dog poo. Lovely view over ben wyvis from a point
