Millie Bothy

A stroll through this lovely coastal pine forest, taking in an old fishermen's bothy and the sparkling Millie Burn.

Wildlife Walk Trail

A great circuit that takes in forest and foreshore, with a chance to spot seals, red squirrels and woodland birds.

Look out for seals and seabirds bobbing offshore, red squirrels as you walk amongst the trees and woodpeckers and other woodland birds from the hide. See if you can spot the old ice house along the trail and take time to pause at the bridge, watching your reflection in the clear water of the Bessie Burn.
