There's always plenty to see at Loch Gruinart. In autumn, thousands of white-fronted and barnacle geese arrive from Greenland. When they leave in spring, wading birds take centre-stage, with the courtship displays of snipe, lapwings, redshanks and curlews.
Watch it all take place from our viewing centre and hides, or on one of our trails. During the summer months we offer guided walks, when we'll listen out for the corncrake and take a walk through our woodland to search for roe deer, willow warblers, treecreepers and speckled wood butterflies.
Opening times
The reserve is open at all times. The visitor centre is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm.
Entrance charges
Free, but donations to help us continue our work here are welcome. There is a small charge for our guided walks.
Information for dog owners
Loch Gruinart is a working farm as well as a nature reserve. Dogs are allowed on the woodland trail provided they are kept under proper control. They are not permitted in the hide.
