All of Scotland’s wild places and green spaces are vital for the survival of its unique, amazing wildlife. If you plan to head out to these areas please respect and protect Scotland’s great outdoors and leave no trace. Thank you. #RespectProtectEnjoy #ScottishOutdoorAccessCode #CheckBeforeYouGo

Britain's largest dune loch is a joy to visit any time of year. In winter, thousands of wild geese, swans and ducks fly in, including 20 per cent of the world's population of pink-footed geese – it's a sight you'll never forget.

During spring and summer, you can see gulls, terns and wading birds raising their young, and you may catch a glimpse of an otter. With panoramic views from the visitor centre, there's plenty for families and children too.

Opening times The nature reserve and hides are open all year. The visitor centre is open every day from 9 am-5 pm except Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Entrance charges Free, but donations are welcome.
