Loch Leven is the largest low land freshwater loch in Scotland. It's an important destination and breeding ground for water birds. The RSPB manage a nature reserve at the southern edge of the loch which includes wildlife hides to make it easier to spot some of the residents and visiting species including otters, red squirrel and Ospreys.

The circular shore side trail is a brilliant running challenge, but it's worth slowing down a bit and even stopping for a look in the hide.
