The Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve is worth a walk. The area is known as a breading spot for hundred thousands of seabirds like guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes. If you are really lucky, you might see a few puffins as well. There is a little wooden shelter for bird watching at the end of the trail that offers a stunning view of the cliffs with a 30-foot-drop.

Here you can see a huge breeding colony of different seabirds... with luck you can also see puffins

There’s a small car park at the end of the road. From there the cliff top walk leads along the various nesting sites. To see Puffins come nearer sunset, as they spend their day out at sea.
