The Aird lies within
rural Inverness-shire immediately to the west of Inverness on the south
shore of the Beauly Firth. The centre of the area is the village of
Kirkhill with many quiet roads radiating through the Aird. The Great
Glen, Strathfarrar and Glen Affric are renowned world wide for
typifying the beauty of the Highlands. Beauly with its priory is a
short distance to the west. The main attractions in this ancient crofting area can be found in the diverse wildlife and magnificent viewpoints over the Beauly Firth and to the mountains to the north and west. As you meander through the country lanes and stunning woodland it is surprising to realise that you are within 15 minutes of the Highland capital and that little has been changed by the modern pace of life. |
The paths around the Aird provide a variety of walking surfaces from road to forest trail. Many are used by cyclists and horse riders who also enjoy the network, and of course you are likely to meet the odd car on the back roads. The Kirkhill and Bunchrew Community Trust with the support of the local land owners welcome you to the Aird. |
