Often described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland, Glen Affric has one of our largest remaining ancient pinewoods.
Capercaillie, black grouse, crested tit, crossbill, golden eagle, red-throated diver, pine marten and otter are all present.
The reserve is also a great place for hillwalking, mountain biking on forest tracks, and open water canoeing.

The magnificent ice-carved crags of Coire Ardair are just one of the attractions of this varied reserve stretching from loch shore to mountain top. It provides a vivid demonstration of how readily native woodland of birch, alder, willow, rowan and oak recovers when the number of grazing animals is controlled.
