Overview

We will follow good trails laid out by the Abriachan Forest Trust through woodland and open moors. A varied walk with lots to see and we'll be treated to awesome views at the top of Càrn na Leitire. Hidden away near the trail is a reconstruction of an illicit whisky still which we can visit. 

Please sign up by contacting the walk leader by 7pm the day before.
