Glencharnoch (meaning, in Gaelic, "glen of the heroes")
One such hero in which a small monument has been placed close to the cache is Ian Beag MacAndra. He lived here early in the 17th Century, he was a noted archer and by his skill with the bow and arrow prevented many cattle raiders entering Strathspey.
This stunning Glen has ever changing landscapes and has a multitude of wildlife, such as Pine Marten, Otters, Red Squirrels, Red & Roe Deer, Osprey & Buzzards can all be seen if patient and quiet.
There are a number of ways to return back, I would recommend sticking reasonably close to the embankment (be careful!!) following deer trails and the River Dulnain back to the bridge, this gives stunning views down onto the River and down the Glen. (See Pictures)
