Dog-friendly camping in Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve

Visiting Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve is a special experience at any time of year. Birdwatching is great all year-round, while spring and summer are best for wildflower viewing. Seasonal highlights include ospreys soaring over the estuary and sand dunes blooming with colorful wildflowers in the spring; butterflies in the dunes and seal pups in the estuary in summer; greylag geese and wigeon in fall, and more winter wildfowl and otters in the winter.

• The closest bus stop is in the village of Golspie, two miles (three kilometers) from the reserve. Here you’ll also find the closest train station (Golspie is on the Inverness to Wick line). There is also a cycle path from the village to Balblair woods.
• The closest public restrooms are in Fountain Road car park in Golspie. They are fully accessible.
• Visitors should familiarize themselves with, and take care to follow, the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and avoid disturbing wildlife.
