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 forest links between the City of Inverness and Daviot village. All you have to do is follow the way marked trails.
