Another fabulous walk brought to us by the Pathways Group! This time the walk is from Wester Aberchalder through to Garthbeg.  Lets us know if you take on any of these walks and send us your photos!  Happy hiking!  Tried this one?  Then head to the Walk the Walk page and see all the other walks that have been documented and give one a go!

Wester Abercalder to Garthbeg 

7 miles - out and return. Easy flat walking on a small section of road, track then grassy track along the south east side of Loch Mhor. The walk follows a small section of the Trail of the Seven Lochs.

Description

Parking is very limited at the start of the walk. Please choose a spot where you will not restrict access for either residents or farm vehicles. 

From the farmyard at Wester Abercalder, follow the tarred road to your right. After a short distance this changes to a gravel track all the way to Migovie. At Migovie, keep to the left of the house and look out for a Trail of the Seven Lochs marker post. Follow this grassy track all the way to Garthbeg or for as long as you want before retracing your steps back to your car. Enjoy  the views across Loch Mhor to Gorthleck and if you are fortunate, you may see red kites flying above. If you are interested in archaeology, there are a number of hut circles close to the route.
