One of Europe's most important wetlands, Insh Marshes cover over 6 square miles (10 km) between Kingussie and Kincraig in the Cairngorms National Park. The site supports various breeding waders, such as curlew, lapwing, redshank and snipe. Much of the area is owned and managed by the RSPB and forms a national nature reserve.
