Loch Vaa

The northern section of the map is well thinned scotch pine plantation while the southern section around the loch has some mature scotch pine forest and birch wood. The birch wood south of the loch has excellent moraine contour detail with lots of negative features and is excellent for training. There is a large area of open heather moor to the east of the railway line. This has good contour detail but the heather is slow going at the moment. There are some sections of birch wood which are more runnable. The area is easily accessible from the end of Kinkurdy Road in Boat of Garten or from the carpark at Lagan na Gower Cemetery a few miles north of Aviemore on the A95.
