5/5)About Aoineadh Mor
When tree felling began in this forest in 1994, foresters revealed the township of An t-Aoineadh Mor, cleared of its people in the early 1800's to be replaced by sheep.
By the 1940's, the sheep had also gone, to be replaved by trees, the new cash crop at that time. These have been harvested with great care and Forest Enterprise now protects the ruins as an important reminder of Morvern's heritage.
A small car park is set in a birchwood with picnic tables and an orientation/information panel. Walking trails head off to the historic village from here.
How to get there:
Aoineadh Mor is in Lochaline.
Head north, out of Lochaline. After about three miles, take a left turn towards Kinloch (Teacuis) and travel along the southern shore of Loch Arienas until you see the signs for the car park and historic village on your left.
Lochaline is the nearest town or village.
