The Striding arches and the Byre are up a glen from moniaive
Best drive up the glen until the tarmac ends then park off the road and walk from there.
You can’t go wrong as it’s one road up and out the glen you walk
Remember in summer midge repellent will be a necessity
Great for sunny days walk
The artist who created the sculptures lives within 1 mile of the Wee Cottage
