Welcome
RSPB Scotland Baron's Haugh is an important community nature reserve in Motherwell and is a real gem for wildlife and for visitors too. Spend time in one of the four hides, looking out at the ducks and swans on the haugh, or take a walk through the woods. If you’re lucky you may even see a kingfisher or an otter on the river.
