You could walk to Corrimony from Bearnock (about 25 minutes?), or by car a couple of mins. drive. Across from the car park, (on main road), you will see the ancient chambered cairn, (dating back to the Bronze Age, about 1500B.C. and may even be 1800 B.C.), and its enclosing stone circle of eleven standing stones. It is an excavated ‘passage grave’ where it holds cremated and uncremated remains. It provides us with the earliest evidence of man, in the Glen.

The RSPB Nature Reserve here at Corrimony is well worth a visit. It has open moor land, conifer plantations and native woodland. Way-markers guide visitors to Loch Comhnard which in summer attracts common sandpipers, greenshanks and curlews, along with occasional red-throated divers and ospreys. In winter, look for golden eyes and whooper swans. Black grouse are often seen in the birchwoods and spotted flycatchers, bullfinches and wood warblers nest in the pinewoods.
