Tree Felling Operations
Forestry & Land Scotland advise tree felling in proximity to the AKW will commence shortly. The short section of forest road prior to joining with the A831 will be used for vehicle movements to remove the felled timber. Access to the AKW will not be restricted but please be aware of warning notices and advice from contractors during operations.
Baggage Transfer Available
Loch Ness Hub & Travel can arrange your baggage transfers between Drumnadrochit and Kintail. For more information visit www.lochnesshub.com.
Path Building Work Complete
We are very pleased to announce that all path building work is now complete and all sections are fully open. A big thank you is due to our contractor Hitrak Ltd who has worked on all the new sections of the AKW over the past three years. Also sub-contractor David Reid Fencing who was responsible for providing stock and deer fencing as well as the various gate arrangements.
A word of caution. We still have two road crossing points on the A831. They will be with us for ever. Please take care when using the crossings and the short section on the carriageway.
