Creag Meagaidh Walk
This circular walk follows the Creag Meagaidh Trail through a beautiful nature reserve on the northern side of Glen Spean in the Highlands of Scotland.
The waymarked trail takes you to the summit of Creag Meagaidh mountain where you can enjoy some wonderful views over the surrounding mountains.
The area is great for flora and fauna with several nationally important plant species present at the site. You can also look out for several species of bird including the dotterel, which is one of Britain's rarest birds. Also keep your eyes peeled for mountain hares and red, roe and sika deer.
The reserve is located on the northern side of Loch Laggan where you can continue your walking along the lovely sandy beach at the eastern end.

Signs in English & in Scottish Gaelic at the entrance to Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve. Birdlife in the reserve include Snow bunting and golden plover which breed on the higher heaths and summit plateau. Red grouse and greenshank are often seen on the lower slopes. The denser woodland on the lower part of the reserve also provides a home for chaffinch, willow warbler, tree pipit and wren.

The Post Face, Coire Ardair. The area is probably most well known for the cliffs surrounding the corrie of Coire Ardair on the north-eastern face. These crags are a renowned venue for ice climbing. The cliffs above Coire Ardair have mostly avoided grazing and support a number of rare species such as alpine foxtail, alpine lady-fern, Norwegian cudweed, downy willow and sibbaldia.
