There are lots of dog-friendly walks to take during a #WoofHostelling trip from Glenmore Lodge Hostel, but if there's one place not to miss, then it's this.
An Lochan Uaine - The Green Lochan

An Lochan Uaine - The Green Lochan

It's a tiny wee body of water nestled amongst the trees, with a vibrant green colour, especially when the sun is shining.
The lochan (which just means a wee loch) is said to be where the fairies of Glenmore wash their green clothes and that's where the iconic colour comes from.

You can't see the water until the last minute and even though I was expecting it, this wee green loch still took my breath away!
While Molly took the opportunity to cool off, I'd heard of leeches in the water, so kept my distance even though they might not be bloodsuckers!

Anyway, we all know that the fairies would forgive Molly for paddling in their washing machine, but I'm not sure I have the same charm.
You can extend this walk to take in Meall a' Bhuachaille with great views, explore Ryvoan Bothy or head all the way into Abernethy Forest.
