Loch an Eilein,in Winter, Rothiemurchus, Strathspey. Inverness-shire. XPL 4663-438
Loch-an-Eilein - a place steeped in history, set in Rothiemurchus within one of the largest remaining ancient Caledonian Forests. Roe deer and red squirrels are seen quite often within these forests, and there is plenty of birdlife, butterflies as well as interesting plant life to see. To reach Loch-an-Eilein, turn off the B970, about a mile from the Coylumbridge junction. If you are starting out from the car park at the visitor centre, spend some time in the centre. In the 18th century, the area around the visitor centre used to be a flourishing timber industry, and some of the trees in the Caledonian Forest, date from around that time. The information available at the centre will enhance the pleasure of a walk in this area. On leaving the centre, take the track to the left, and head clockwise around the loch.
