a'Bhoideach

There is a triangle of land between the Beauly Firth , Glen Urquart and Loch Ness. It is a rolling plateau of forest and rough farmland, and until now I had never been there. Amongst the forests are several well appointed cottages, Inverness is near and this is an ideal place to live if you want to be outside the city. The highest point of this area is Carn a'Bhoideach above steep slopes plunging into and below Loch Ness. A lot of effort is avoided by an approach from a minor road to the northwest. A rough track, mostly underwater due to the horrendous thaw, gets you most of the way. The summit area saw an attempt at forestry planting. This failed and there are just a few surviving stunted trees. You still get an amazing view into the great Inverness-shire glens. |
