2023 09 20 is etched in my memory as a one-in-a-million day! Spittal of Glenmuick for most people is the starting point to bag Lochnagar and the surrounding hills. For us it was the day to bag Loch Muick. To swap the birds eye view from the mountain tops for the fish-eye view from the loch. All photos by Claire Young, "Lochbagger".
A beautiful trekking area need to prepare before going there. There is no coffee shop anything you have to bring everything what you need. Parking fees applied
Very interesting place, to many information about birds and animals. Have a toilet, big car park 5£ a day. But beast here is unreal valley and mountain.????
A wee wooden cabin houses the visitor centre and information of local area and wildlife. Has a hot drink and snack/map vending machines. Info boards with history, wildlife, flora and maps positioned around the walls with a TV showing stills and a large model of the area takes pride of place in the centre of the room. If it's your first time to the area check out this place before you head off to explore.
I loved Loch Muick as such, had a smashing walk up Lochnagar snd round the lake.But thd visitors centre is not very well equipped if you want to buy something more than drinks.No postcard, no souveniers.But if you like expositions about local nature and animals is a place to visit
Very nice place,helpful Cairngorms rangers and good facilities. Most importantly the scenery is absolutely beautiful,and the nature is astounding. Saw lots of bird and red deer herds
Clean toilets, parking is £5 for cars, you can pay by card.
Well worth the drive along the single track road to see this beautiful and interesting landscape. Colin, the Ranger, made it especially worthwhile with his engaging and knowledgable conversation. A pleasure to meet him
