Maryburgh - beyond the Black Isle
This area to the west of the A863 has been included in this compilation, because of its proximity to the Black Isle and as it contains natural woodlands enjoyed by its neighbours.

Blackmuir Wood
The recent felling has provided the opportunity to look to the distant western mountains from the confines of the wood. Some of these slender Silver Birch may not last the winter winds.

Brahan Wood
This is a core path of the Highland Core Path Network. It is Core Path RC 31.03 Brahan to Loch Ussie Track and is a forest track 1.7 km in length. This part of Brahan Wood is a delight to walk in. The path nearer Loch Ussie is dominated by plantation trees.

Broad Wood I
A stretch of woodland catching the Winter midday sun.

Broad Wood II
A track now used by walkers who can leave the track and explore the woodland on paths created by animals, dogs and their owners!

Conon River Woodland by Dunglass
Viewed from the end of a track that provides access to a footpath through a swampy area of ground beside the river.

Conon River Woodland
Only two people are allowed on the suspension bridge at any one time, so I await the passage of my wife and collie before stepping on to it. The bridge has a pronounced swing and bounce.
by Julian Paren
Cnoc Mòr
The path starts off from the summit with clear intentions, but once the terrain gets steep the easiest route never looks obvious. The path does swing to ease the steepness of the descent. I think the path would be hazardous if the ground was wet and therefore slippery. Beware!

Craig Ruadh Wood
Moy Wood
One of the few tracks shown on OS Mapping that can be followed with some certainty.

Oak Dell
A network of paths cross the Dell - an area with many fine specimens of trees planted in the heyday of the Brahan Estate.
by Julian Paren
Tallysow Wood
This circular path is designated Highland Core Path RC 31.01 Tallysow Wood and it meanders through a fine belt of trees in what the OS calls Broad Wood. The circular path is 3.1 km long and is listed as a constructed path.
by Julian Paren
Ussie Wood
The continuation of the quiet road that leads to Tollie Red Kites and which loses its gravel surface beyond Tollie Red Kites.
