Overview

Meet 0900 - Start 0945 - Grade C - OS sheet 26 – NGR NH647320

Directions to parking layby: Take the A8082 out of Inverness. At the Holm/Culduthel roundabout turn right towards Torbreck/Essich.  After a few miles turn left where the sign says ‘Loch Duntelchaig’ and ‘Dunlichity’.  After a short while you will drive alongside Loch Duntelchaig and the car park layby is at the end of this section.  

A  delightful walk through varied and quiet countryside, taking in three lochs, Loch Duntelchaig, Loch a' Chlachain and Loch Bunachton each with a distinct character on the south of Loch Ness. This is on a mixture of undulating quiet tarmac road, forestry tracks and paths, sometimes through woods and sometimes out in the open with lovely views all around of the surrounding hills. The lochs are peaceful, beautiful and full of birdlife. The first half of the walk is uphill, the second half downhill! It is a mostly circular walk with one section which is there and back.
