Hiking

This well maintained section of path takes you from Creag Bheag towards Kingussie. In late summer the hillside is alight with vibrant heather flowers.

Hiking

A steep section of the path but opens up to views and the hillside is covered in heather. A couple of places to stop and sit and enjoy views across to the Cairngorms.

Hiking

Creag Bheag (little crag) is a beautiful short hike with mammoth views. Quite steep and technical on the descent this way around.
