 The Great Glen forest is a patch work of conifer trees and broadleaved woodlands around both sides of the Great Glen. It's a very attractive backdrop to one of the most famous glens in Scotland. Loch Ness is here of course as well as the other lochs and rivers.

Birds: We have information about Golden eagle, Black grouse and Osprey
Insects and reptiles: We have information about Adder and Pearl-bordered fritillary Habitats: As well as the monster in Loch Ness, the Great Glen is known for the high proportion of woodland that grows along its shores and hillsides. This is a mixture of planted conifer woods and native deciduous woods of oak, ash, hazel, birch and other trees.

The Great Glen forest is along both sides of the Great Glen off the A82, the B852, B862 from Inverness and Fort Augustus.
