Ryvoan Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This is a glorious trail that leads from Glenmore Visitor Centre through the Ryvoan Pass to Lochan Uaine and then continues to Ryvoan bothy. It passes between the high ground of Meall a'Bhuachaille and Creag nan Gall and, when you emerge onto the open ground by the bothy, there are lovely views towards Bynack More.

An Lochan Uaine (The Green Loch)

Highlight • Lake

Legend has is that the water here is so green because the pixies wash their clothes in the water here. Or it might be to do with the trees. Whatever, it's an utterly lovely, slightly incongruous and therefore somewhat surprising place to spend a little time!
