Troup Head |
The high cliffs of Troup Head provide a spectacular setting for Scotland’s only mainland gannet colony. There are also thousands of kittiwakes, guillemots and razorbills, along with several other species, including puffins. You may even be lucky enough to see porpoises, minke whales or dolphins offshore. Please take care on the cliffs. Please noteRSPB members get free entry to the Macduff Marine Aquarium on Tuesdays from April-September. During this time, there will be a live camera link from the reserve at Troup Head, showing great footage of the nesting gannets and other seabirds. As you approach the reserve, you will pass Salix Pottery & Gallery. During the opening hours (Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 6pm) you will be able to call in for information about the reserve from an RSPB information point here. Opening timesOpen at all times. Entrance chargesFree, but donations to help us continue our work here are welcome. |
