Viewpoint from the Abriachan Forest
Caption / Description:

A viewpoint near Carn na Leitire in the Abriachan Forest, Inverness-shire, Scotland. A modern sculpture made from carved wooden poles inserted onto metal bases is located at the viewpoint. The viewpoint provides a good view of the Affric mountains to the west.

The Abriachan Forest is one of the largest community owned forests in Scotland, being owned and managed by the Abriachan Forest Trust.

The trust aims to create local employment through the forest management, while improving the environment and planting more native species of trees and plants. A network of trails has been built by the trust, and they also provide education opportunities for schools and various other groups.
