What are the best times of year to visit Beinn Eighe and Loch Maree Islands National Nature Reserve?

The nature reserve experiences four dramatically different seasons, making it okay to visit all year-round. In winter, the snow-fuzzed peaks mirror frozen rivers and streams, while spring sees the reserve burst into life with the arrival of blooms and birds of prey. Summer draws visitors—and hordes of biting insects—to the shores of Loch Maree, while autumn’s rutting stags make it the ultimate for wildlife photographers.
