Kincraig paths
Set in a magnificent location at the foot of the Cairngorms and on the shores of wonderful Loch Insh, the small village of Kincraig has much to offer from shorter strolls through woodland and around lochans, to climbs up to spectacular viewpoints.
Four trails starting in the heart of the community explore the village, nearby woodland, farmland and riverside providing lovely views of loch Insh.
Six further trails take you to nearby Feshiebridge area and Inshriach forest, including Uath lochans and Farleitter crag. The mixed pine forest with an understorey of blaeberry and heather are home to a rich variety of wildlife. These sites have their own parking areas, or you can reach the Uath lochans from Kincraig by following the Speyside Way (approximately three and a half miles).
To the north of Kincraig the trail to the Duke of Gordon’s monument giving spectacular views over Badenoch and Strathspey is not to be missed.
