Burn O Vat
Situated on low-lying ground, Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve
(NNR) consists of extensive Birchwood, wetlands and heather moor.
In its centre are two large lochs, Davan and Kinord, which provide
a winter home for thousands of geese. To the west, you can find
the hidden Vat, a spectacular geological feature famed for concealing
the 18th Century outlaw, Gilderoy Macgregor.
There are many fine circular walks through the NNR, passing by
such features as abandoned settlements and an ancient Celtic
cross. There is an excellent visitor centre at the Burn O'Vat,
to help you make the most of your visit.
