    Tips

    February 27, 2023

    This is a particularly scenic spot that's part of the Affric Kintail Way. There are views across the modest yet lovely Loch Meiklie and also back towards Drumnadrochit and the much larger Loch Ness. You'd be hard pressed to spot Nessie from this distance but it's a gorgeous vista nonetheless.

    The nearby village of Balnain has a few accommodation options, which makes it a great base for exploring the region. There's also a car park here for Glen Urquhart Forest’s trails.
