Welcome

RSPB Scotland Insh Marshes is a vast, important wetland and a haven for wildlife throughout the year. The bird hide gives views across the Marshes, where in spring and summer waders and wildfowl are breeding, whilst in winter, whooper swans and geese can be seen. A number of trails lead you to explore beautiful birch and aspen woodlands and a stunning wildflower meadow, where in summer hundreds of orchids grow.
