Glen Affric is a national nature reserve found to the west of Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland. Glen Affric is the site of a large, ancient Caledonian pinewood forest looked after by the Forestry Commission. There is also a blend of mountains, wildlife, lochs and the Plodda and Dog Falls; which have led the Glen to be described by some as the most beautiful glen in Scotland.
