Glen Duror

This forest has a magnificent setting, tucked in below the towering Beinn a' Bheithir. Visitors can explore the glen on foot or by bicycle and discover the Glen's historical connections. Follow the yellow waymarkers from the car park for the four mile walk through the glen or visit the mountain bothy, the birth place of 'James of the Glen' by following the Appin Cross waymarkers.

Leitir Mhor is the site of the notorious Appin Murder that took place 250 years ago.

Here, Colin Campbell of Glenure who was working as an agent for the Hanoverian government of the day was shot by an unknown assassin. The authorities suspected a local Jacobite of the crime and James Stewart (James of the Glen) was later tried by a jury of twelve Campbells and hung for the crime. He protested his innocence whilst the likely real suspect, Allan Breck, fled to France.

Visit here and take a step back in time while enjoying your picnic with fantastic views across Loch Linnhe.
