Fiona and I went on a delightful walk through Torbreck Woods on the edge of Inverness, this afternoon. Despite having lived here for almost 10 years I have to confess that I had until today, never taken the time to explore them. The woods are mainly mature spruce trees which have been thinned out to give plenty space and light and throughout which there are a number of good trails for running and walking.
On the south side of the wood it gives way to farmland and more woodland which stretches out all the way to Dores on the shores of Loch Ness. We followed the track along the edge of the woodland for a short distance and looking back it affords great views of Inverness.
Me being me I think I'll go back next week if I get the chance, and run from Torbreck to Dores - it really is a beautiful, unspoilt area!
