Scottish Wildlife Trust - Loch of the Lowes Visitor Centre & Wildlife Reserve

Beautiful and serene. A great place for Twitchers and nature lovers. From sitting in one of the hides watching the Ospreys dive for their food, to sitting inside watching the wonderful array of songbirds and red squirrels that come to feed at the feeding stations. We found a peaceful spot off the nature trail and sat quietly drinking our flasks of coffee, just looking out over the water. It was lovely. The staff in the visitor centre are really friendly, each time we've been, a member has come up to the hide with us, showing us where to spot different things. All really enthusiastic about their roles. That in itself is such a breath of fresh air. Thoroughly recommend for a peaceful afternoon out.

Found about this gem through social media and glad I came. Small place for birdwatching but worth a visit. Staff are beyond helpful and are willing to help you try and see the birds when they make an appearance. Couldn't have asked for more. If you like walking there's a path into nearby Dunkeld which we enjoyed, even sighting a deer in the forest!

We love coming here every time we visit. The centre is really well look after by knowledgeable volunteers. We have always been lucky to see the ospreys, and follow their Facebook page for regular updates

The visitor centre was closed but the hides were open and the staff there were very friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about the ospreys that are nesting there and also the other wildlife around. I got some amazing pictures and also took some recordings of the birds. Will definitely be back and hopefully get to go in the centre next time

Fantastic place, with a large viewing window out to some feeders with a variety of birds and also a few red squirrels. There are three viewing hides that look out on to the loch and each has telescopes that you can use, so you can view the ospreys and any other birds that are there. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you may have.

Great little place, we seen red squirrels and a quick look at a beaver. Recommend taking a picnic as no food.

Attended a breakfast with the beavers event. Raz provided a great commentary and information about the local wildlife. Plus we saw two beavers, one of them having their breakfast of lillypad tubers. The sun rise was stunning. Would recommend

If you are in to nature then this is a good place to visit particularly if you want to see Ospreys. A couple of hides with knowledgeable staff to point you in the right direction. There's also a nice walk to Dunkeld which starts from the centre.
