Geocache Description:

A lovely wee pull of point on the old Craignure to Fionnophort road


Teanga Brideig.

The old road through Glenmore was replaced by the one you travel on today in the early 1970’s; Teanga Brideig is part of the original road. Other finely constructed bridges can be seen on either side of the present road as you travel through Glenmore.

On the eastern side of the Allt Teanga Brideig, the burn running off the hill is Holly Tree Fank, named after the holly tree sitting at the side of the river.

Teanga Brideig is the starting point for the walk through to Loch Ba via Glen Clachaig and is a Public Right of Way. You can also park up here and ascend Ben More from its southern side.

As you travel through Glenmore there are the remnants of glaciation which occurred over 10,000years ago, from the drumlins (earthen egg shaped mounds) to erratics (deposited rock and boulder debris) to the terminal moraine (the wash out of residue at the edge of the sea) at Kinlochscridian.

Glenmore is also famous for its many raptors, from golden and white-tailed eagle, to short eared owls to hen harriers; sit quiet and all may be revealed.
