From Sligachan you can take a nice hike towards the Black Cullins. Even without climbing the summit, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of Glen Sligachan on this easy hiking tour. The path leads over a tributary of the Sligachan River, the Allt Dearg Mor. This is criss-crossed by many small rocks and waterfalls. From the bridge, which was renewed sometime in the last few years, you have a beautiful view of the river.

A great tour that doesn't take up much time and is off the beaten track. There are always some great waterfalls with lovely pools for swimming. But be careful, the ground is very slippery. Absolutely worth it.👍👍👍
