Rosemarkie beach and Hillockhead circuit

Summary

This circular walk has great variety. Starting with a sandy beach, it continues along a rough and rocky coastline. A steep climb gives fine views before the walk continues with country lanes and then a final descent through a lovely wooded glen, complete with waterfalls.

Terrain

The shoreline section of the walk cannot be completed for the hours around high tide (check tide times before setting out) and runs over tiring terrain - a mix of sand, rounded pebbles and rough boulders. Steep climb up path from coast; otherwise minor roads and footpaths.
