Nestling down in the sheltered fold of the valley, Macnab's Wood is made up predominantly of mature birch, a prime pioneer tree species. Silver birch is understood to improve soil quality for other plants to grow as its widely spread roots bring otherwise inaccessible nutrients into the tree, which are then recycled on to the soil surface when the tree sheds its leaves. There is plenty of scope for additional planting towards the north west boundary.

An abundance of wildlife is quickly evident, from deer to wild boar, insects to bird life; although there is plenty of visible sign of boar, these elusive creatures are hard to spot but should be viewed at a distance.

Definitely easier to spot are the multitude of Scottish wood ant nests that, although classed as 'under threat', are dotted about throughout the wood. Dormant in winter, they will spring to life through spring until high summer, when each nest can be home to 60,000 ants, all contributing to their whole community and indicative of the biodiversity of the area.

A highlight of the wood is the stream that runs the length of Macnab's Wood, there is possibly great potential for rigging up a micro hydro unit to provide power, subject to necessary consents.

The tracks are in fine fettle having been recently upgraded with stone and there is a large area of hardstanding at the entrance to the wood.

Sporting rights are included within the sale.

As is the case for all our woodlands, the purchaser will be asked to enter into a covenant which serves to protect the peace and quiet of the woodland.

The sheer diversity of this woodland makes it a real treat for those interested in bushcraft and foraging.

Dependant upon the necessary local authority planning consents, this would be the perfect location for a small hut for occasional overnight stays within the guidance for hutting or for summer camping expeditions.

Macnab's Wood is nestled between Drumnadrochit and Invermoriston, at one time the main woodland track connected the two settlements as a droving road. It is perfectly located to explore nearby Glen Affric described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland and is home to one of the largest remnants of the ancient Caledonian Forest. To the north and east is the bustling city of Inverness and the nearby Black Isle, a popular tourist destination as well as dolphin watching.

Closer to home is the nearby Urquhart Castle fought over several times by English and Scottish forces: no doubt the woods would have been part of the hunting grounds of this once grand castle.

To the south west is Fort Augustus, further still Fort William and the great Nevis range and the delights of the West Coast.
