Overview
Muir of Dinnet blends woodland, heath, open water and an impressive example of nature’s sculptural work, all on one site. Visit the ‘Vat’, a giant pothole carved by a huge meltwater stream during the last Ice Age. Elsewhere, wander through birch woodlands, watch for the flash of a damselfly’s wings or savour the peace and tranquillity of a summer reflection in the clear waters of the lochs.
Best Time To Visit: Spring and winter for birds, all year round for visits to the ‘Vat’.
Facilities: Visitor Centre and toilets at Burn O’ Vat open daily throughout the year. The main car park is located at the Burn O’ Vat Visitor Centre. Paths to the ‘Vat’, onto Parkin’s Moss, around Loch Kinord, from Dinnet village and between Lochs Kinord and Davan. The paths are of varying standards.
Further Information: SNH, Inverdee House, Baxter Street, Torry, Aberdeen AB11 9QA. Tel: 01224 266500.
