VISITING THE RESERVE
The reserve lies in the Nigg Valley in Easter Ross, about two miles north east of Hill of Fearn and four miles south east of Tain. From the A9, take the turning to Fearn and follow the B9165 for 2.2 miles. As you enter Hill of Fearn, take the first left immediately after the service station. At the end of the road, turn left onto a single track lane. Follow this road for just over a mile until you reach a sharp left bend. At the bend, turn onto the rough track to the right of the gates right ahead of you. The car park is at the end of this track.
Access is from the car park.
There may be livestock on the reserve, so please keep dogs under close control at all times.
