Daviot Wood lies to the south of Inverness on the ridge between Strathnairn and Loch Ness. The forest walk allows 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.
Mammals: Dawn is the ideal time to see roe deer and other wildlife which use Daviot wood. Another common mammal which can be seen here is the red squirrel who live high in the trees. We have information about Red squirrel, Roe deer and Badger
Birds: Look out for Siskins, Crested tit, Crossbill and the Common Buzzard, souring majestically above the forest.
How to get there:
Daviot Wood is accessed from the car park beside the Tourist Information Centre on the north-bound side of the A9, some five miles to the south of Inverness.
From Inverness, it is necessary to travel south on the A9 to the turn-off into Daviot village. Turn back towards Inverness on the north-bound carriageway and after approximately one mile, turn left into the Tourist Information Centre.
