Into Loch Ard Forest the path leads you through plantation confier and native woodland including the Oakwood of Blairvaich. As you cross the Duchray Water for the second time and the path gains height you'll see groups of Scots Pine dotted across the landscape. These remnants of the recently felled confier crop now lead the expansion of native woodland along the length of the Duchray Water.

Enjoy a gentle stroll through the forest to the waterfall of the little fawn. Scenic in high summer and spectacular in spate.

390 million years ago the Highland Boundary Fault was formed. This trail combines information on the geology of the area with a walk in the forest and a number of excellent scenic features. A tremendous panaramic view from Lime Craig is the most outstanding. On a clear day Ben Lomond, Ben Venue, and Ben Ledi are clearly visible, while Ben More and Stob Binnein can be seen in the distance.

Many of the Forestry Commission Scotland's trails and forest roads are suitable for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Please show consideration and courtesy to everyone you meet. Some trails and paths are less suited to cyclists and horse riders because of the gradients and surfaces. Please behave responsibily in helping us to maintain these routes.
