Delighted yesterday to find out that final approval has been given by funders to support the creation of a South Loch Ness Trail. As part of 'my other job', this is a project that I am heavily involved in and have been pushing to get backing for it for some months now. It is hoped that when complete the trail for walkers and horse riders will create one continuous off-road trail stretching from near Fort Augustus to Inverness, a distance of almost 30 miles. It will pass through some of the best scenery on the south side of Loch Ness, opening up areas previously only accessed by locals who really know the area. Attached are a couple of photos of 'The Fair Haired Lad's Pass, a fantastic stretch of trail high above the Loch Ness which will form part of the South Loch Ness Trail.
