I really hope you enjoy this film of the gorgeous 'River Trail' and the 'Am Meallan Viewpoint Trail' in lovely Glen Affric, which is about a 30 minute drive from Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
The River Trail is just one of the many beautiful walks which you can follow in Glen Affric and I'll be posting videos of many of the others in the next few weeks.
The River Trail follows a section of the River Affric amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. There is a (paid) public car park at the start of the River Walk, which follows a gravel path for about half a mile. It's a bit uneven in places, so make sure you're wearing suitable footwear. It normally takes about half an hour to do the River Trail and about 20 minutes to climb to the magnificent Am Meallan viewpoint, which has great views of Loch Affric and Loch Beinn a' Mheadhain. It's a fairly steep, but short, walk up the Am Meallan trail to the viewpoint, so only attempt if you're in good health.
It's worth mentioning that access to the car park for the River trail is via a single-track road with passing places - so please drive very carefully. I also had no mobile phone signal while I was there.
Glen Affric has a very special place in my heart. Its Gaelic name "Gleann Afraig' means 'the glen of the dappled ford'. Its scenery is one of the most beautiful in Scotland - an incredible mix of lochs, pinewoods, rivers & mountains that offers an unrivalled landscape anywhere in the world. It's the sense of serenity and peace that I value the most. It has a spirit and a certain tranquility that makes it a place of healing and rejuvenation.
Keep your eyes peeled for Eagles, Crossbills and Pine Martens. I got incredibly lucky and saw two Pine Martens on the drive home, which was wonderful.
The Music is by Clannad and the wonderful Karen Matheson, who's one of my favourite singers of all time. She has a very beautiful voice.
Thanks for watching. It's just me doing the filming, so a like and a subscription really helps me out to keep filming. If you'd like to hire me as your guide, or for filming, you can contact me through my websites -
