Corrour to Fersit


The past few days have been spent pottering round the Highlands, showing one of my friends around. It's her first visit up here, so we've done a bit round the Cairngorms, and been over to Skye. Today we decided to visit one of my favourite haunts and do a walk.

Taking advantage of having two cars, we dropped one off at Fersit, and drove to Tulloch station. From there we got the train to Corrour and after popping in to the Station House we set off for Fersit. The first hour or so s along a path that follows the shore of Loch Ossian. Beyond the Lodge, the route follows the private estate road as far as Strathossian, before heading up into the forest. A short while later it exits the woods and drops down into the hamlet of Fersit, crossing the railway line.
