Description
restoration and community prosperity. Ardachy is the main residence of North Bunloit. A magnificent four-bedroom contemporary house enjoying an
elevated position and breathtaking views across Loch Ness and the Monadhliath mountain range.
North Bunloit largely comprises conifer plantations, peatland and bog, alongside large areas of ancient
native woodland and heath. HRL is felling and thinning forestry compartments and will mostly replace these plantations with mixed native tree species, boosting biodiversity and long-term carbon sequestration. Highlands Rewilding
continues to carry out work to restore North Bunloit’s peatland, with several areas where peat is at least four metres deep. This work will greatly stem carbon emissions and eventually increase the
carbon sequestration potential of this peatland. Heathland and bog areas are being maintained through removal of self-seeded non-native conifers.
Bracken is also being controlled through mechanical rolling and rotational grazing of a small herd of Highland Cows (not owned by the
estate). North Bunloit is home for an abundance of species. Mammals include pine martens, red squirrels, badgers, foxes, deer (Sika, Roe
and Red) and wild boar. The wild boar are rarely sighted ecosystem engineers whose rooting activities can break up bracken domination
and increase plant diversity.
Situated just to the south of Drumnadrochit, the estate benefits from vehicular access to all of the local amenities nearby and is within easy commuting distance of the city of Inverness. The
Drumnadrochit area is famous for its association with Loch Ness and is an excellent point from which to explore the Highlands, with its unspoilt hillsides providing a haven for plants, wildlife and excellent rural sporting opportunities. The village of Drumnadrochit has good local shops catering for daily needs and highly acclaimed primary and
secondary schools as well as a new medical centre. Transport links are improving to the Highlands with the ongoing duelling of the A9 trunk road, new Inverness city bypass and expansion of the airport, now providing regular flights to London and the continent.
