The Cairngorms National Park is not only the United Kingdom's biggest National Park it is undoubtedly one of our most spectacular. The quiet village of Laggan is right in the middle of the Cairngorms National Park and is flanked by both the Monadhliath and Grampian mountains so it's no surprise that there are plenty of opportunities to get close to nature in this stunning part of the country. Red deer, red squirrels, golden eagles and rare Osprey all call Laggan home. For those that like to get their adrenaline pumping there's the Laggan Wolftrax bike trails close by and for those that like to take it a bit easier there's walking, fishing, bird-watching, golf, horse and pony riding and cycling.
Fort William and the surrounding area offers literally hundreds of different walking and cycling routes with varying levels of difficulty so whether you are a rambling pro or a novice bike rider they'll be something for you to try your hand at.
The small crofting township of Nedd (An Nead - Gaelic for nest) is situated on the north coast of the parish of Assynt. Ancient native woods surround Nedd, which overlooks Loch Nedd, a sea loch that’s home to a wide variety of sea birds, seals and otters which appear occasionally. The famous colony of puffins at Handa Island is nearby. Nedd is an excellent base for hill walkers and climbers who are keen to explore Quinag, Suilven, Canisp, Benn Stack, Arkle, Ben More Assynt, and Foinaven. Trout and salmon fishing and stalking is available by arrangement on the many hill lochs for fishing enthusiasts. The Stoer Lighthouse, the renowned garden of Kerrachar, the caves of Assynt and the incredible geological feature of 'Moine Thrust', are all within easy reach of the holiday destination of Nedd.
