Description: Park at Errogie church and turn left towards Torness. At the junction marked Farraline Estate, turn right and follow the road along the side of Loch Mhor. Before the road bends up towards Farraline house there is a Trail of the Seven Lochs triangular marker on your right and a vehicle track with a gate. Follow the Trail of the Seven Lochs markers along this track, passing in front of a stone cottage, until you reach Wester Aberchalder. Look out for Ospreys and Red Kites along the route. To return to Errogie simply retrace your steps.

This route can be followed as a simple out and return route as described above, or you may wish to consider two other options. The first makes this walk into a circular route, starting and finishing at Errogie. The second, if you have two cars would allow a longer linear walk from Errogie to Garthbeg.

1. On reaching Wester Aberchalder, turn right and walk past the houses on your left. When you reach the B862 turn right and simply follow this road all the way back to the starting point at Errogie Church. (Total distance 8km).

2. On reaching Wester Aberchalder follow the Wester Aberchalder to Garthbeg route. (Total return distance 19.6km, 9.8km if using 2 cars).
