About
A National Trust for Scotland crofting estate with more than sixteen miles of maintained paths through woodland, moorland, coast and working crofting ground. Visitors can choose a short walk from Balmacara Square or a longer route without committing to one crowded attraction. The Square has a large free car park, café, gallery and picnic area, although the former visitor centre is permanently closed. Route choice should reflect weather, ground conditions and available daylight.
