Viewed from the Loch Affric Circuit Walk on northern side of the loch.

Glen Affric (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Afraig) is a glen south-west of the village of Cannich in the Highland region of Scotland, some 15 miles (24 km) to the west of Loch Ness. The River Affric runs along its length, passing through Loch Affric and Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin (Loch Benevean).

Loch Affric lies at an elevation of 235 m (771 ft) ASL, is 5 km (3.1 mi) long with a maximum depth of 67 m (221 ft).

The area is a Caledonian Forest Reserve, a National Scenic Area and a National Nature Reserve. Often described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland, it contains one of the largest ancient Caledonian pinewoods in Scotland as well as lochs, moorland and mountains.

It has the lot Doug and you have done great justice to it with this picture! We can gauge the scale of the mountains by the size of the trees!

How beautiful this is Doug. It must be an absolute delight to visit such an attractive place. It looks so natural and unspoiled. My kind of place. Have a lovely evening.

It is an amazing place, well worth a visit Anton. At present there is an ongoing project to return it to its more natural state before the introduction of sheep many years ago. They damaged much of the forest and are no longer present in the glen. Part of the project involves the planting of native trees to encourage an increase in the local wildlife. Thanks very much for your visit and kind comment.

All the best, Doug
