Loch An Eilein is set in Rothiemurchus, a beautiful Highland estate that is home to amazing scenery and wildlife. Amid this landscape, expect to see roe deer and red squirrels, as well as many varieties of birds including osprey and Scottish crossbill. The path around the loch is well-maintained and suitable for motorised wheelchairs and off road buggies.

An easy to follow path, well maintained running around the loch. A good size car park (charge) available as well as toilet facilities.
