This is part of the Battlefield Walks coming from Culloden Battlefield and or Clava Cairns, even road (asphalt), good for cycling or walking on rainy days

An optional little loop taking you through some forest, maybe 5 to 10 minutes if you walk normally, but really pretty in good weather. Rather narrow, foot trail throughout. There's been some care put into it, to make it passable even on rainy days by laying out treading stones/woods in the worst patches, but I wouldn't recommend it. Was glad ground was still almost frozen when I went and still sagged down some millimeters on a few treading stones. Only go with proper footwear, or avoid (as the loop is only a nice extra). Road traffic audible throughout since close to the road (was lucky to have come at a not-busy time).

Battlefield Restaurant and Bar close by at the corner, parking and Wifi, affordable yummy sides (if you're on a budget; vegetarian options), very friendly staff (and if you're a woman traveling alone with a mid-sized backpack you'll find the ladies roomy enough for that). Was welcomed as a walk-in, but came at a slow time off season.
