      Rothiemurchus Forest is a remnant of the Caledonian Forest which once covered most of Scotland. It reached its peak size around 5000BC. Environmental changes and human interaction reduced it's size significantly. There are now only 35 known patches left.

      Mostly used by walkers, there is a good path network which circumnavigates Loch An Eilean. There are also a few unmaintained paths which lead out into neighbouring areas. These tend to be used by MTB's more than walkers.
      Primary Trail Type: Cross-Country
      Land Status: Private Managed Forest
      Parking - £ google parking directions
      This region uses the Uk/Euro style trail grading system.
