Reelig Glen

Reelig Glen is a commercial forest in the Scottish Highlands with several circular walking routes through mature woodland. The forest displays a variety of pine, fir, chestnut, birch, and beech trees arranged along interconnected marked trails throughout the property.

During the 18th century, the Fraser family, who owned the property at that time, began planting trees extensively throughout the woodland. These early plantings established the foundation for the forest composition seen today.

The woodland has long been a place where visitors can walk among mature trees and experience the forest environment firsthand. The planted groves and forest sections shape the area's character and draw people seeking time in nature.

The forest offers free parking and clearly marked walking trails suitable for visitors of various abilities. With open access paths, walkers can move freely and explore different sections of the woodland at their own pace.

Within the forest stands Dughall Mor, a Douglas Fir tree reaching about 64 meters in height, which is the tallest of its species in the United Kingdom. This remarkable tree is a distinctive feature that many visitors overlook during their walks.
