Loch an Eilein

Calm and pretty loch with gentle hiking & Cairngorm views

Pretty Loch an Eilean is an ideal spot for an easy hour-or-so’s walk.

The trail loops around the loch and passes a romantically ivy-draped ruined castle.

It’s all on the Rothiemurchus Estate, which has one of Scotland’s largest tracts of ancient Caledonian pine and birch forest. Its helpful visitor centres at the lochside and by the roadside at Inverdruie (location of the turnoff to the loch on the B970) have info on longer walks.
