Inland beach wins award for third year running
One of Scotland’s best kept secrets – a beach that is 300m above sea level - has won a prestigious national award for the third year running!
Loch Morlich in the heart of Glenmore Forest Park in the Cairngorms is managed by Forestry Commission Scotland and is the first and only fresh water loch to ever have received the Rural Beach Award in Keep Scotland Beautiful’s (KSB) Seaside Award campaign.
Graeme Prest, the commission’s manager of the Inverness Ross and Skye District, said: “Having recently moved up to Inverness to take on this role I was expecting a few pleasant surprises…but never dreamed that a beach award would be one of them! Glenmore contains some of the best preserved areas of ancient Caledonian Pine Forest in the country and also offers great opportunities for outdoor activities like walking, cycling, orienteering and bird-watching, but it must be one of the few Commission sites where you can also go sailing!"
