This building highlights the fantastic resource the community has in the 100ha mixed native woodland on Ardvourlie Common Grazings.  This area is now one of the finest examples of native woodland habitat in the Outer Hebrides and benefits from a well-surfaced loop path and large car park to facilitate public access.

The Woodland Observatory sits in an elevated position, offering 270 degree views up and down Gleann Bhìogadail and over Loch Seaforth. It offers shelter halfway around the loop path, and an opportunity to see the increasing number of birds in the maturing woodland and learn about the local environment.  Ardvourlie Woodland has a lot to offer, and we hope this project will encourage more people to visit and explore the area for themselves.  Thanks are due to local crofters for their help and cooperation with this project.
