Walk by River Oich
Weather has been quite fair and unusually warm this week so drove over the mountain pass to Fort Augustus. Just outside the village is a turning on the left signed Bunloich Brae. Drove along 
this to the small car park and enjoyed a leisurely walk through the woods, crunching on the carpet of colourful leaves underfoot.Heard the shrill sounds of the robins and chaffinches and even a woodpecker tapping somewhere in the taller pines.
The path eventually leads down to the River Oich, which 
flows between Loch Ness and Loch Oich. Here you can walk alongside its banks and just listen to the rush of the water and the birdsong. A mute swan glided by on the strong current - didn't have to paddle at all. It was really peaceful and relaxing.
