Ballinlaggan is situated in the River Dulnain Valley, north-east of Carrbridge. The nature reserve covers 21 ha of wetland, grassland and scrub and includes small aspen and bog pine stands. It is an important breeding site for a range of waders, including lapwings, redshanks, curlews and snipe.
To help manage the nature reserve and sustain the breeding waders and other wildlife, grazing is let on the nature reserve. It is thanks to the sympathetic farming practices that Ballinlaggan remains a good site for breeding waders.
