Nature reserves
With 128 designated and provisional wildlife sites within East Ayrshire there is a wealth of places to explore and things to see.
Catrine Voes is East Ayrshire’s first local nature reserve. The river provides an ideal habitat for Atlantic salmon as well as being home to water voles, otters, kingfishers, heron and dippers
There are no guarantees of what you will see on your outing. However, you can greatly improve your chances and reduce your impact on the land and inland water by following the Scottish Outdoor Access Code which is based on three main principles which will all aid in wildlife conservation:
-
take responsibility for your own actions
-
respect the interests of others
-
care for the environment
To access the full code, please follow the website link.
