Glen Affric, Inverness, Scotland<br />

A medley of native woods, glittering lochs, snow-capped<br />

mountains and dramatic moorland, Scotland’s Glen Affric<br />

could easily have been plucked out of Canada.<br />

With over 30 miles of ancient pinewoods, the forest has<br />

one of the largest ancient Caledonian pine woods in<br />

Scotland. The woodland is so treasured, it’s become part<br />

of the Scottish government’s regeneration project, with a<br />

target of 25% forest cover to reach by 2050.<br />

Wander amongst the pine trees to the sound of woodland<br />

birds, looking out for ospreys, otters and red deer stags.<br />

Or tackle some of Affric’s hiking trails, punctuated<br />

with thundering waterfalls and jagged canyons. This is<br />

Scotland at its most spectacular.<br />

Glen Affric<br />

Dog Falls are a must-see and provide a good starting<br />

point for several walking trails. Climb the gradual ascent<br />

to the spectacular viewpoint overlooking Loch Beinn<br />

a’ Mheadhoin, or picnic beneath the pine trees by Coire<br />

Loch.<br />
