An enjoyable walk following a gravelled track with good views of the hill lochan, Loch nan Lochan,  and ascending to the reservoir at Glen Forslan. Fine hill scenery and the picturesque falls of Glenforslan make this a very pleasant walk.  In addition, devil's bit scabious (Succisa patensis), scotch argus (Erebai aethiops) and orange peel fungus (Aleuria aurantia) are abundant in late summer.  Some steep ascents and can be boggy in places. This is a 'there and back' walk.  

Please refer to local walking guides for details.
