Forvie National Nature Reserve is a treasure located north of Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. Owned and managed by NatureScot, the reserve is one of Scotland’s most dramatic stretches of coast3. It covers almost 1,000 hectares of sand dunes and dune heath between the North Sea and the estuary of the River Ythan1. The Sands of Forvie, which are the fifth largest sand dune system in Britain, dominate the southern end of the reserve. These sands are the least disturbed by human activity in the country.

Sand Loch is an inland water body located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It’s situated at a height of 33.8m. The area around Sand Loch is known for its scenic beauty and offers various outdoor activities. You can enjoy walking, running, and cycling routes near Sand Loch.

Taking the path just out of the back of the visitor centre the loch is passed by and can be walked around.

Pitfour Lake was created in the mid-19th century as the centre piece of the Pitfour estate. The lake has four islands and an old Greek style temple designed as a bath house. Apparently the fifth laird of the estate kept alligators here. Today the trail around the lake and further around the woodland and estate makes a great fairly easy-going running loop.
