Fishing Sailing Cycling Walking Swimming Eat out

The Loch

Although our beach is stony there are decent gravelly patches – even sandy ones at low tide. Turn over any rock and you will see that these waters are rich in life with plentiful crabs, molluscs and intertidal fish to be seen. Commonly seen are seals, porpoises, oystercatchers, herons, mergansers, cormorants, eiders. On land you may well see a red squirrel in the garden and deer are abundant in the forest and on the hills. Frequently seen terrestrial birds are woodpeckers, siskins, bullfinches, long-tailed tits, grey wagtails buzzards as well as a host of more common birds. It is also worth looking out for Golden Eagles.

Our Reviews

“You can literally step out the door and be in the forest within a few minutes. For mountain bikers it is an ideal location with access to miles of forest tracks - I loved it!”
