Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve is one of the most important wetlands in Europe. Enjoy a springtime stroll along our nature trails and look out for nesting lapwings, redshanks and curlews. Or visit in the wintertime when the marsh floods to provide the ideal habitat for visiting flocks of whooper swans and greylag geese.
Look out for roe deer and foxes from our two hides, which give you an excellent view. Some of the paths are rugged.

Entrance charges

Information for dog owners
Dogs are allowed on all footpaths. You can walk with your dog on any land in Scotland. We encourage responsible dog walking, and ask you to keep your dog close to you, preferably on a lead, especially between 1 April and 30 June, the season many birds nest on the ground.
