Insh Marshes, National Nature Reserve in Highland, Scotland
The Insh Marshes encompass 695 hectares of floodplain along the River Spey, forming one of the largest areas of mire vegetation in Scotland.
The Royal Society for Protection of Birds established management of this wetland ecosystem in 2003, marking a milestone in Scottish nature conservation.
Local residents maintain traditional agricultural practices by allowing domestic livestock to graze in the marshlands during summer months.
Two nature trails and multiple bird observation hides provide access points for visitors to explore the wetland throughout the reserve.
This reserve hosts fifty percent of the United Kingdom Goldeneye duck population, which selects these wetlands as their nesting grounds.
