Loch Garten, Highland
Loch Garten lies between the River Spey and the Cairngorm Mountains just to the north east of Aviemore and became famous in 1954 when a pair of Ospreys returned to nest here, the first since 1910.
Loch Garten is situated in the Abernethy Forest, part of the largest native Caledonian pine forest in the UK. It offers a unique mix of woodland and northern bog with a great variety of birds and other wildlife. The loch and surrounding areas are managed by the RSPB as a nature reserve.
