Borgie Glen is the kind of place that feels like your own private forest.

The trail weaves through peaceful Scots pine and birch woodland, where red squirrels dart across the path and birds flit through the trees. Along the way, you’ll cross charming wooden bridges over clear streams and might stumble across the unexpected, like the striking “Spirit of the Glen” statue tucked away among the trees. 

It’s a fantastic spot for a relaxed, mindful walk or a mini family adventure. There are a few gentle hills, but the paths are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is calm and refreshing. In autumn, the colours are stunning, and in spring, the forest comes alive with birdsong.
