Paths and Access update:
All paths and boardwalks are clear and passable at the moment but after all the rain the water level is rising and might cover the boardwalk by the castle again. Remember there is an indicator post on the loch side at Lochfield Cottage showing if passable – if the water is at or past the point where the marker enters the ground the boardwalk will be flooded. The paths are also a bit muddy and boggy in places, so outdoor footwear or wellies is recommended – not your best white trainers! When we can resume the volunteering sessions we will check the paths and patch any problem areas.

Please observe social distancing (2m apart) and all current government restrictions on movement.

During these days of chilly wanders around the loch you might see swans/wildfowl that appear stuck in the ice. Usually they are strong enough to release themselves, but if you are worried this is the advice from SSPCA -
