This upland freshwater loch is at the foot of Lochnagar, one of Scotland’s finest mountains. The fairly level circuit path around Loch Muick boasts magnificent views of the surrounding hills.

You walk on royal paths. Definitely think of the long telephoto lens, because you are very close to the deer. Curlews can also be caught in flight.
