Dunglass Island

After both setting new PBs at the Inverness Park Run on the morning of Saturday 19th May, we headed to Conon Bridge and Maryburgh in search of an island!

Our walk for the day was a circuit starting in Maryburgh, via Dunglass Island (a stretch of farmland separated by the mighty River Conan) and the Brahan Estate.

Winding our way through houses we eventually found our path alongside the railway and riverside and before long we had reached the bridge over to Dunglass Island.

As the weather was dry and bright, everything looked very pleasant, especially the well-maintained fishing spots round the "coast" of the island. We stopped and had cheese and pickle sandwiches and tea next to a weir.

Eventually looping back to the bridge, we rejoined our original riverside path and continued West. There was lots of lovely old oak trees along this section of the walk. We eventually climbed up towards the Brahan Estate and into a lovely tree-lined avenue which lead us back to Maryburgh.

Approximately 8 miles.
