A quick roadside cache with spectacular views over Strathglass.
Visitors travelling along the main road may stop at the lay-by at The Crask to look over the
deep gorge with the river running through it. When they view Eilean Aigas House, built on
the large island which gives it its name, they little realise that a few minutes walk up the
access road affords some splendid views over to Kiltarlity, the hills to the south beyond
which lies Glenurquhart, to the west Strathglass itself and the hills round Glen Affric and
eastwards back down river to the Beauly Firth and Inverness.
Coming back down to the main road and continuing west, immediately on rounding the corner
from The Crask itself, Strathglass opens out with the nine hole golf course built in 1993 in
the foreground. Next to the golf course is the old mansion house of Aigas, formerly the
residence of the owners of the old Aigas Estate. Aigas House is now a Field Centre for
groups coming to study the local environment and its wildlife.
