West Affric is an estate in the wilds of Inverness-shire owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
West Affric is a vast and remote expanse of wild land, ideally suited to adventurous walkers who want to get off the beaten track. It is situated at the western end of Glen Affric, which is sometimes described as the most beautiful of all the Highland glens; no mean title amongst so many wonderous glens as the Highlands may boast.
The area spans 9,049 acres and includes one of the most popular east/west paths in the Highlands, once part of the drove road from Skye to Dingwall.
The National Trust for Scotland bought West Affric in 1993 and is carrying out conservation work to protect it and restore its natural ecosystem.
