  • WESTER ROSS Wester Ross Ross Wester 212 © Lonelyplanet Walk Tooneofscotland’Sfinestcorries, Coire Mhicfhearchair
    © Lonely Planet 212 Wester Ross Wester Ross is heaven for hillwalkers: a remote and starkly beautiful part of the High- lands with lonely glens and lochs, an intricate coastline of rocky headlands and white-sand beaches, and some of the finest mountains in Scotland. If you are lucky with the weather, the clear air will provide rich colours and great views from the ridges and summits. In poor conditions the remoteness of the area makes walking a much more serious proposition. Whatever the weather, the walking can be difficult, so this is no place to begin learning mountain techniques. But if you are fit and well equipped, Wester Ross will be immensely rewarding – and addictive. The walks described here offer a tantalising taste of the area’s delights and challenges. An Teallach’s pinnacle-encrusted ridge is one of Scotland’s finest ridge walks, spiced with some scrambling. Proving that there’s much more to walking in Scotland than merely jumping out of the car (or bus) and charging up the nearest mountain, Beinn Dearg Mhór, in the heart of the Great Wilderness, makes an ideal weekend outing. This Great Wilderness – great by Scottish standards at least – is big enough to guarantee peace, even solitude, during a superb two-day traverse through glens cradling beautiful lochs. Slioch, a magnificent peak overlooking Loch Maree, offers a comparatively straightforward, immensely scenic ascent. In the renowned Torridon area, Beinn Alligin provides an exciting introduction to its consider- WESTER ROSS able challenges, epitomised in the awesome traverse of Liathach, a match for An Teallach in every way.

  • Wild Trout Conservation and Fisheries Revival in Wester Ross and the Isle of Skye: Time for Rethink?
    Wild trout conservation and fisheries revival in Wester Ross and the Isle of Skye: time for rethink? One day workshop, Kinlochewe Village Hall, 30th April 2019, 10am – 4pm (& wild trout field excursion 1st May) Supported by the Wester Ross Area Salmon Fishery Board, the Wild Trout Trust and Marine Scotland The Isle of Skye and Wester Ross Fisheries Trust area remains a stronghold for wild Brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations. Wild trout are found in hundreds of freshwater lochs and coastal stream systems within the area where they are often a keystone species. There is much diversity within the species and in the habitats Loch Maree system ferox trout by Paul Vecsei in which trout are found. https://www.flickr.com/people/fishasart/ For example, Loch Maree and the Camasunary river system on the Isle of Skye formerly supported fisheries where sea trout of over 4kg were regularly caught. At the other end of the wild trout spectrum are isolated populations of small brown trout living above waterfalls where trout complete their life cycle and mature without growing larger than 15cm in length. The purpose of this workshop is to review new information and objectives for both the conservation of wild trout diversity and the revival and management of once prolific trout fisheries. In the past 10 years, advances have been made in our understanding of the genetic diversity of brown trout, the consequences of stocking programmes, and of the movement and performance of sea trout in coastal waters. What has been learned that can help to guide fisheries management and conservation? The outline plan is to split the day into two sessions (please see next page for programme): Session 1: Wild trout diversity: populations and adaptation This session will focus on the genetic diversity of wild brown trout in the Gairloch – Loch Maree area and beyond.

  • Loch Maree Fault (NW-SE)
    Walk Wester Ross 50+ walks Loch Torridon to Little Loch Broom 1 This guide describes most of the worthwhile low-level walks in the central part of Wester Ross, from Torridon to Dundonnell. Most visitors and settlers in Wester Ross are attracted by the outdoors – sea, moor, wood, loch, hill, river – and walking is the best way to experience it. (For the mountains, see the guide “Hills of Wester Ross”.) First, a gentle warning... This is a rough wild land with a lot of weather, and the walks reflect this: few are really easy. Most of the walks are on paths or tracks, but don’t expect all these to be as flat and well-surfaced as in the lowlands. Hazards may include bracken, heather, mud, bog or slippery rocks. A few pathless walks are included where careful micro-navigation is needed at certain points: these points are highlighted with a red line at the side. But don’t be put off! The weather is often good, and this is a great area for walking. Go slowly with your eyes open to see all that nature has to offer: wildflowers and plants of all kinds from trees to mosses and lichens, birds and other animals, insects, lochs (lakes) and burns (streams), ancient rocks, beautiful and spectacular scenery. And in many places there are ruins, traces of the human past from prehistoric round-houses to former crofting townships and evidence of old agriculture. The walks are arranged in 13 groups as on the map opposite. In addition to the 50 main walks, more difficult or longer extensions are often described.
