Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve (Scottish Wildlife Trust)

Loch of the Lowes Visitor Centre is a four star visitor attraction providing unrivalled viewing opportunities of breeding ospreys.

The osprey nest is situated with 150m of the observation hide, allowing osprey family life to be observed through binoculars, telescopes and HD closed-circuit television. In addition, red squirrels, great spotted woodpeckers and a variety of woodland birds can be seen from the impressive viewing windows, and fallow and roe deer are often seen from the hide.

Wildfowl numbers peak in early winter when up to 3,000 migrant greylag geese roost on the loch as well as goldeneye, mallard, goosander, wigeon, teal, tufted duck and great-crested grebe.

Exhibition with interactive displays and a wildlife gift shop with light snacks are available on site. Toilets and hides have disabled access and disabled parking is available.
