Rewilding Centre Dundreggan

Located in Glenmoriston just eight miles from the shores of Loch Ness, the Dundreggan Rewilding Centre celebrates rewilding and the region’s rich Gaelic culture and offers a gateway for visitors to explore the 10,000-acre Dundreggan estate. Located just eight miles from Loch Ness, our estate has been rewilded by Trees for Life since 2008, recovering from centuries of damage caused by sheep, goats and deer grazing. By allowing the forest to regenerate naturally, we have expanded important fragments of Scotland’s Caledonian forest, providing a habitat for over 4,000 species of plants and animals, including golden eagles and black grouse.

Visitors to Dundreggan can now explore ancient pinewood and unique juniper forest, discover centuries of Gaelic history, and connect with a landscape undergoing transformation through rewilding. Our Rewilding Centre provides a space for a larger, more diverse audience to enjoy the wonders of nature and the heritage of the Scottish Highlands.

Access to our Rewilding Centre and footpaths is free.

Tours, activities and events are available and can be booked at https://visitdundreggan.co.uk

Dogs are welcome in the Rewilding Centre and throughout the Dundreggan estate but should be kept on a lead at all times. Please remember to clean up after your dog.
