Welcome to Loch Ardinning Wildlife Reserve.
This is a small cache placed just off the Loch Ardinning loop.
Loch Ardinning was orginally a natural loch in a glacially formed hollow. Since 1796 various dams were built at the NW end artifically raising the water level and providing a swallower area of the loch. It provides a great stop over for many migrating birds and a rich variaty of plant and invertebrate life. It also has great views to the North. The Muir loop is a great area for those in the North of Glasgow to access. The loop is a great walk and well worth the effort. A lot of work has recently been undertaken on the paths and the area is much less boggy than it once was. Keep your eye out for Bog Asphodel, Bog Myrtle, snipe, linnet, stonechat and the ever present skylarks. Carnberry can also be found on the wet sphagnum mosses of the reserve.
Parking is availably off the A81 to the NW of the reserve. There are a number of other caches that can be found locally too.
It was placed with the help of a four year old and he supplied the name.
