Loch Spynie is one of Moray's hidden gems. A haven for wildlife and birdwatchers alike, head here for a chance to hear Water Rails squealing in the reedbeds, spot Osprey fishing in the loch, and Whooper Swans gathering on the water. Take a stroll along short trails and enjoy peaceful views of the loch from the hide, as well as the chance to spot year-round residents Red Squirrels and Otters. The reserve takes in wet woodlands, fen meadow and the largest freshwater reedbed in Scotland. Free entry, open daily.
