There are 10,000 acres of forest at the former Dundreggan Estate purchased in 2008 by Trees for Life. Their mission is to preserve the native trees while annually planting 30,000 new ones. This enhances the natural habitat for wildlife. The Glenmoriston valley is also famous as the escape route for Bonnie Prince Charlie from the English troops in 1746 at the end of the Jacobite rising. This is the River Moriston. Its name in Gaelic means “River to the Waterfalls.”
