Kilbeg
Situated at the foot of Glen Forsa Kilbeg cottage was a former shepherds cottage before being bought and fully renovated by the family. It is now a bright well equipped cottage sitting entirely on its own with a spacious garden in a beautiful, peaceful location with views over the river Forsa and to Ben Talla.
Based less than a mile into Glen Forsa this is the perfect base for hillwalking with a gravel road meandering through the glen to the foot of Ben Talla. Walking is permitted on the farm but dogs must be kept on leads at all times to ensure livestock are not disturbed.
Kilbeg is excellent for bird and wildlife watching. Bird watchers find the cottage ideal and return each year to enjoy their hobby. They relax in the sun porch or garden and watch for sea/golden eagles, hen harriers, barn owls which frequent the area. Red deer can also be seen and heard in the glen.The famous Callachally fold of highland cattle are grazed on the pastures next to Kilbeg throughout the year with new born calves and lambs to be seen in the spring time.
