unrated)About Glen Aros
The woodland is made up of a predominately mature conifer crop. Set along the burn sides are native tree species such as birch, hazel and willow.
Glen Aros Woodland walk is a short attractive circular route less than a mile in length. One of the main attractions of this walk is the old graveyard of Cill an Alein, housing some graves dating back to the Middle Ages.
The site offered a gentle resting place for those that had passed on, as it nestles gently into the side of the hill and offers fine panoramic views over Glen Aros to Ben Talaidh in the background.
