A walk above Loch Ness with Great Views

Added on 17 December 2022

A Cairn on a cairn! Another walk that I really recommend is Meall Fuar-mhonaidh, which is just above Drumnadrochit. At 699m high it's not a huge hill but the views along the length of Loch Ness and looking over towards Foyers are really worth the effort, there's a car park at Grid Ref NH492238 which takes about 20 cars. The walk from the car park to the summit takes 3.5 - 5 hours, and is 5.5 miles/9km. There's a clear path but there are a couple of peat hags to find a way across. It's a walk I do quite often with Hamish and would recommend it after a dry spell/late summer especially if you have a short-legged dog like Hamish.  To check availability at Dolphin View Cottage (no dolphins on this walk but maybe the Loch Ness monster)? https://www.dolphinview.co/availability
