The Rhidorroch pinewood is on the west coast, near Ullapool, and stretches along the
slopes of the tranquil Glen Achall, between Loch Achall and Loch an Daimh. Most of
the mature pine trees are thinly distributed throughout birchwoods on the north facing
slopes of the glen, with the largest and densest areas around East Rhidorroch Lodge,
‘The Old Lodge’. Scattered trees cling to the scree and boulder slopes of the impressive
200m rock face at Creag Ghrianach of Q: On what mountain? . The western edge

eagles regularly hunt over this mountainous landscape and the woods are home to pine
