A must do walk (if you are able). Stunning scenery. We walked the 8 mile circular route around the Loch. Note at the South East corner the wide path narrows significantly and becomes a single file rocky path. It took us 2 hrs 45 mins at a steady pace. There are a few other routes available. (See map attached) A North Easterly wind on the day made a pleasant 10 degrees feel chilly and jackets were required. Of course 5 mins later the sun was out and jackets off. ???? There is parking for around 200 cars in three separate cars parks. It costs £5 for a day ticket. Highly Recommend. ????
Beautiful loch around an hour and a half west of Aberdeen. Well worth a visit and a walk up the southern side gives stunning views of the Loch below.
Beautiful,quite a long walk to the actual loch from the car park, only made it to the bridge because we had our 2 years old with us. Definitely coming back and doing the whole walk around in the future
Absolutely beautiful, we had our young children with us and so couldn't walk far, so parked at car park and walked down to the Loch and had a splash in the river part with the bridge. On the walk back we spotted a stag on the hill, which made the place even more special. Fabulous
Magnificent ! We walk by the end of afternoon in July : perfect light, peaceful atmosphere and we saw not one but first a group of four deers laying at a distance of not more than 100 meters from the path and then a herd of deers, maybe 15 enjoying the Dee river. Great experience !
Love it at Loch Muick, been here a bunch of times.
There are two car parks but it is a busy place especially in sunny weather. Parking fee is £5 for a car and they take cards.
Toilets available at the car park.
A decent path on the walk down to the loch and the loop around the loch is well maintained on the right hand side. You can walk right up to the Queens bothy. The other side of the loch is a bit more tricky and sometimes narrow.
The views are breathtaking! You can see lots of local wildlife including eagles, red deer and many other smaller critters.
The Heather comes out late summer, adding another magical dimension to this walk as its filled with purple blossoms.
I went to Loch Muick during my summer holidays and the experience was extraordinary. I didn't know the Scottish landscape could look like this!
Very beautiful! Walked up the Broad Cairn. It was a wonderful day even though very windy. Stunning and picturesque. Road is flat and bit rocky, enjoyed the oath right by the lake.
