A scenic view of Moine Mhòr National Nature Reserve

Moine Mhòr National Nature Reserve is home to a variety of wildlife, including curlews, flowering plants, rare marsh fritillary butterflies, heath butterflies, 11 species of dragonflies, otters, and hen harriers roosting on the moss. If you are unbothered by chilly conditions and short daylight hours, winter is a treat, as the frosted moss is at its most beautiful and you can see whooper swans, Greenland white-fronted geese, and roosting hen harriers. Even in summer, the weather can quickly change, so warm, waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear are essential. If wild camping in the surrounding area, be sure to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
