RSPB Culbin Sands

Overview
Truly get away from it all at this remote and unspoilt reserve. Come during the winter and you'll see seaducks feeding offshore, while from late summer to late spring, large numbers of bar-tailed godwits, oystercatchers and knots flock at high tide. Look out for the small flock of wintering brent geese. Please note: Under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code visitors have the right to responsible access. Please avoid disturbing feeding and roosting wading birds along the shoreline.
About the area
Apart from the Orkneys and the Shetlands, Highland is Scotland’s northernmost county. Probably its most famous feature is the mysterious and evocative Loch Ness, allegedly home to an ancient monster that has embedded itself in the world’s modern mythology, and the region’s tourist industry.
