Glen Feshie

Highlight • Forest

A magnificent glen that's home to some of Britain's rarest wildlife, Glen Feshie is a delight to explore. With eagles, wildcats, ospreys and ptarmigan among the many species that inhabit the area, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled and your ears out. For Munro baggers, the glen gives access to the spectacular Sgòr Gaoith and the remote Mullach Clach a' Bhlàir.

Glen Feshie Waterfalls

Highlight • Natural Monument

Small but pretty waterfalls near the main path. Surrounded by the beautiful woodlands of Glen Feshie. Scots Pines adorn the hillside, and sit within the Feshie Estate, home to over 5000 species. You might be lucky enough to spot the (now) rare Capercaillie, Golden Eagle or Pine Marten.

Sgòr Gaoith Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

A Munro with a wonderful surprise – Sgòr Gaoith is a 3,668-foot (1,118 m) mountain in the Scottish Highlands. The views from the summit across to Braeriach are outstanding on a nice day. The eastern cliffs of the mountain are very dramatic and appear to plunge steeply down into Loch Einich, and all of this is unseen on the approach from the south/west.
