Situated in Scotland’s first National Park, Drymen is part of a conservation area, which is the perfect base for a bird watching break. Nesting Ospreys are the main draw to the area, however peregrine, buzzard, capercaillie, falcon and the magnificent golden eagle are also regularly sighted.

The RSPB reserve at Inversnaid on the Eastern shore of Loch Lomond is the perfect quiet location for a morning's bird watching. Arrive early to explore the ancient oakwood forest and keep an eye out for the black and red-throated divers.
