Gleann Einich runs south of
Inverdruie for
some 14km. On the Tuesday of the holiday I set out to walk down the
glen
to Loch Einich, a body of water set in a dramatic trench surrounded by
the high tops. Unfortunately I underestimated the distance and was also
thwarted by the lack of a bridge about halfway down the glen where the
track crosses the river. I never made it to the loch and had to turn
back.
This is a view of Braeriach across a landscape of heather-covered
moraine. |

Highland bogs are anything but
boring, as
this close-up reveals. |

Another day, another walk - the
B970 back
road along the east bank of the Spey, south of Inverdruie |
 |
The Old Manse at Doune. |
|
Loch an Eilein (Lake of the
Island), a lovely
and romantic place hidden within the forest. There is a visitor centre
and nature trail. |

Caledonian forest south of Loch an
Eilein.
A path from here gives access to the smaller and more remote Loch
Gamhna,
lying at the foot of the Sgor Gaoith ridge. |
