About

Birnie and Gaddon Lochs near Collessie were excavated during the 1980's and 1990's as sand and gravel quarries and have been restored to provide a home for a huge range of bird and plant species. 

The two lochs are joined by a network of paths with plenty of rest areas and a picnic site at the main car park which offers excellent views across Birnie Loch.  We also maintain two bird hides at the site for which keys are available on request.  The site is ideal for family recreational use including walking, bird watching and picnics.

The site is predominately open water surrounded by woodland, it also includes smaller areas of wetland and grassland habitats that help attract a variety of wildlife.  As well as the excellent bird watching opportunities there’s a chance to spot some of Fife’s rare mammals including red squirrel, otter and bats. 

Water sports and fishing are prohibited and we ask that dogs are kept on short leads to avoid disturbance of breeding birds and livestock.
