Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve

Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve is a delight for twitchers, mini beasts enthusiasts and general nature lovers, but this is proper countryside so take everything you need with you: there's no where to get supplies from out here!

Bluebells and wild garlic carpet the woodlands in spring when migrant warblers, flycatchers and redstarts start to return. The reserve also includes the wetlands around the mouth of the River Endrick. These flood most winters and host good numbers of wildfowl. Take your pick of tranquil walks on a wooded isle, or down to the lochshore in search of a clever fishing osprey. Listen out for the distinctive call of winter visiting geese flying overhead in their tidily changing formations or watch the peaceful paddling of wigeon, teal and shelduck!
