Balblair Wood, Little Ferry
A wonderful
family walk, easy going through the woods, and with an
optional walk back along the coast where you can enjoy
stunning views of Loch Fleet. You may have to walk this
twice, once with the tide in and once with the tide out, to
really appreciate the Loch's natural beauty.

Brora to
Golspie coastal walk
Brora to Golspie is a coastal walk of 6 miles
along a track that is not waymarked but which is easy to
follow. As well as beautiful coastline there is an abundance
of wildlife and birds to enjoy, not to mention the magnificent
Dunrobin Castle. Good boots and clothing are
recommended. The walk can be made in either direction, and
easy parking is available in both Brora and Golspie. Please
note that if the tide is out there is easy walking along
firm sand for most of the way, but if the tide is full
in there are stretches of difficult walking along stony
shoreline, particularly south of Sputie Burn.

Ben Bhraggie
Ben Bhraggie overlooks the Highland village of Golspie and is easily
recognisable because of the impressive monument at its
summit which can be seen from five counties. At 1302 ft, and
with a decent land rover track right to the summit, Ben
Bhraggie is one of the easier hill walks, and can be
enjoyed by
anyone with reasonable fitness and with
appropriate clothing and footwear. Don't underestimate the
importance of this hill because of its ease of access - the
views from the top can be quite breathtaking!

Ben Horn
Ben Horn, at
1706 ft, is a reasonable day's walk. As it is well off the
beaten track you will see Sutherland from a totally unique
perspective. On a clear day you can see from the Cairgorms
all the way to the west coast, and sometimes you can even
make out the unmistakeable shape of Ben Hope in the far
north. Walking is easy from Bridge of Horn to Loch
Horn, and from the loch to the summit is fairly good going
despite there being no track. Care should be taken in winter
as drifting snow can make for very difficult conditions.
Walking from Loch Brora is extremely difficult so it is
recommended to walk from the Bridge of Horn in Dunrobin
Glen.

Big Burn, Golspie
Just 10
minutes drive south of Brora, on the outskirts of Golspie,
is the Big Burn walk through the woods and a dramatic gorge
to the waterfall. This is a very easy walk at any time of
year, with good paths and foot bridges in good repair. There
is ample parking for over a dozen cars at the Golspie car
park, and there is an additional car park along the Dunrobin
Glen road from which you can access the Big Burn walks.

Glenview Point, Golspie
Glenview Point walk is a
detour on the Ben Bhraggie walk, and could even be
incorporated into the Ben Bhraggie walk if you were feeling
fit and had an extra hour or two. The view from the point is
of Ben Klibreck in the distance, and the top end of Dunrobin
Glen. However, if you walk a few yards over to your right
and crest the small hill, you will have a breathtaking view
of the whole of Dunrobin Glen right down to Golspie and the
sea.
