NG8236 : Within Reraig Forest

taken 9 years ago, near to Ardaneaskan, Highland, Scotland

Within Reraig Forest
Within Reraig Forest
Reraig Forest was planted in 1913. At various places within the forest you can find evidence of pre-forest structures such as the partially standing wall shown in this photo. All such walls are thoroughly covered by moss which has prospered in the still, damp conditions within the forest.

The local estate run guided tours of some of the forest, as we found when chatting to the gamekeeper at the end of the day. Anyone wanting to view the interior of the forest would be well advised to go on such a tour unless you are very sure of your ability to navigate in very dense wooded areas. We're pretty good in such conditions but even so ended up with a somewhat suboptimal route through the trees with a couple of steep sections which might be a little off-putting to some people.
