A mountain, forest and moorland mosaic

Home to some of Scotland's most spectacular wildlife, Abernethy is a dramatic and awe-inspiring place. A fragile mosaic of ancient Caledonian pinewood, moorland, bog and mountain plateau, this reserve really has something for everyone. Look out for some of the pinewood residents, like the fast moving red squirrel or the restless flitting of a yellow siskin. Or head for Loch Garten and watch its most famous summer visitors, the imposing ospreys nesting high in the tree tops.
