Scottish National Trail: Oykel Bridge to Inchnadamph
Enjoy a prolonged, scenic traverse above the rushing River Oykel, mostly on vehicle track but sometimes on grassy footpath, often on open hillside and sometimes at forest edge. After passing the small settlement at Loch Ailsh, the path begins an arduous climb to Bealach Trallgill over progressively rougher terrain, but gets easier on the other side going down to Inchnadamph.
