The Glens >> Glen Cannich |
|
Glen Cannich gives a great feeling of remoteness - it is visited much less than its near neighbours. Popular with hillwalkers, the ridge on the north side of the Glen offers superb high level walking with tremendous views of Ben Nevis, An Teallach, the Torridon mountains to name but a few. It too has its share of wildlife - red deer, golden eagles and a wide variety of other fauna and flora. Red deer can be found grazing on the lower slopes for most of the year, especially the winter months. There are also remnants of the ancient Caledonian Pine Forest. |

Glen Cannich, to the north of Glen Affric is surrounded by the highest mountains north of the Great Glen. The winding, narrow public road from Cannich ends at the massive Mullardoch Dam, built in the late 1940s during the hydro-electric construction schemes. Raising the water level combined Lochs Mullardoch and Lungard into one massive loch. The original Benula Lodge, together with other dwellings now lie below the waterline. |
Some small slideshows and picture galleries for you to enjoy. |
