Loch an Eilean lies like a jewel in the heart of the old Scots pines and rideable tracks run all round it. There is also a Nature Trail laid out, and a good chance of seeing Golden Eagles and Buzzards both of which nest around here. An old ruin on an island in the Loch is known as the “Wolf of Badenoch’s Castle” but this legend is quite incorrect. The Wolf of Badenoch was a natural son of Alexander III of Scotland and gave the country good cause to remember him for his evil ways.
