The Pathways group have consistently highlighted fantastic walks for us on our doorstep over the summer and now as we head into Autumn, they are moving to monthly walks with the first to be highlighted in the upcoming Autumn magazine.  For now, check out their 7th walk, Inverfarigaig circular via Glen Liath. 

If you take on any of these walks then please send your photos over to us at communications@sfctrust.org.uk!

Walk 7 - Inverfarigaig circular via Glen Liath

4.65 miles. Mostly easy, some road walking, with a couple of moderate sections

Start the walk at the Farigaig car park.

From the car park, turn right along the road. Look out for the memorial to geologist James Bryce.  Continue along the road and at the bridge, keep to the right along Glen Liath and look out for a Right of Way marker – Footpath to Aultnagoire and Stratherrick.

Take this track and follow an old but well defined path uphill until you reach a forestry road.

Turn right here and follow the road until it splits.

Keep to the right and look out for a Trail of the Seven Lochs blue marker post on your right. Take this small track which begins to head downhill and reaches the road again. At the road, turn right and you will reach a large turning area/forestry track. Look out for another Right of Way marker – Foyers via hill route, Inverfarigaig via Boleskine and take this track which initially goes fairly steeply uphill.

After a short distance you will come to a wider track with a blue South Loch Ness marker post and Forestry Finger Post. Turn right here, following the track which, after a short way, begins to head downhill. Keep to the right, following the blue markers until you are close to the car park. If you wish, you can follow a short loop to a lovely bench with views over Loch Ness.

If you are interested in Geocaching, you may want to search out the cache near here! Follow the track past the bench, heading steeply downhill to the car park.
