What to expect
Expect a steady uphill approach through mixed woodland before emerging onto higher moorland where views open across the Glen. Your guide will point out geological features and tell you about the area's past. The terrain is uneven with some boggy sections; pace is leisurely to allow time for questions and photography. You'll retrace your steps on the descent. Weather in the Scottish Highlands changes quickly, so conditions may shift during your walk.
