A short circuit of Loch Lundie, the largest sheet of water on the Black Isle, below the house of Pitlundie. The ridge to the west holds a vitrified fort, and fine Scots pines on the far side look out over the Moray Firth.
On a clear day the views reach south to Glen Affric, with Highland mountains along the western horizon. Allow time for stops: there is plenty to photograph.

I cannot think of anywhere nicer to live. The Moray Firth lies beyond.

The Dun above Loch Lundie gives extensive views from Northern Scotland to the hills of Glen Affric. Closer to hand are the christmas tree plantations of Mains of Drynie, the isolated croft of Culnacraig below Drumderfit Hill, and the ever-present Beinn Wyvis on the western horizon.
