Frasers, Forests & Fish

a Half Day Excursion

 

Moniack Castle Winery.


The Winery is a unique enterprise, situated seven miles from Inverness. The wines and preserves reflects the natural ingredients growing around the Castle. For centuries people have been making wines from wildflowers, fruits and tree sap. This tradition is carried on at Moniack.


This is Fraser country. Moniack Castle dates from 1580 and Frasers have lived there ever since. The business is run by the family, Philippa Fraser and her two sons, Rory and Kit, together with their friend Jonathan Garden

 

 

 

 

Reelig Glen and ‘Dugall Mor’


A short walk through the spectacular tall trees of this Forestry Commission wood which is effectively a wild natural garden. The Fraser family, who owned the land for 500 years, planted many species of trees in the early 1800s, many of them newly introduced to the UK at the time. Today many of them are amongst the tallest in the UK at over 200ft.


‘Dugall Mor’ was officially given the title of tallest tree in Britain in 2003 when the BBC measured this Douglas Fir at 210’ high.


The walk itself follows built paths and is ideal for families. Its sheltered location also makes it a good choice in any weather.

 

Aigas Dam and Fish Lift


See the fish, mainly salmon, passing through the massive dam via a special system whereby a passage holding the fish trying to go upstream is flooded with water. Once the water in the passage reaches the height of the dam the fish swim upstream.


There is a unique underwater viewing platform here where you can see the salmon making their way up the lift.
