Glen Affric picture series

One of the most beautiful landscapes in Scotland, with splendid lochs in the valley, pine tree, heather clad hillsides and a river running among the 3,000 ft mountains. Wild roe deer can be spotted here in the spring and winter months - look out for them at dawn and dusk or on the open hill above the tree line. Pine Martins, Badger, fox, otter, red squirrel, stoat and weasel are all to be found. Glen Affric has been greatly altered by two separate interests.

In 1946 the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board dammed the River Glass to create Loch Beinn a Mheadhain. Its power station at Fasnakyle is unobtrusively located and is faced with local yellow sandstone. It is well worth taking the walk to the two waterfalls in the narrow Affric gorge - the Badger Fall and the Dog Fall, the scenery is wonderful.
