Viewcatcher Sculpture on the Great Glen Way

Highlight • Structure

Great viewing point with the Viewcatcher to accentuate this. The statue is made for us to stop for a moment and take in the beautiful views... worth stoping at for a moment and do exactly that.

September 27, 2022,High road/low road loop of the Great Glen Way feat “The Viewcatcher"

This loop from Invermoriston takes you out on the high route of the Great Glen Way, and then back on the low road. Highlight is the "Viewcatcher" sculpture! Nice trails and a few glimpses of Loch Ness. A few uphill but fairly gentle trails, would make for a nice run.

Free parking at the start (and a clog shop!).
