About

Loch Druidibeg and the landscape surrounding it present one of the best places in the Hebrides to see the full range of island wildlife. The reserve stretches from the Atlantic coast almost to the Minch.
The mountains of Hecla and Beinn Mhor provide a superb backdrop to photographs taken in this area.
A self guided trail by the Loch and through the croftland provides plenty of oppourtunities for photography. Eagles, hen harrier and merlin are often seen in this area

Photographers Tip

Good positions for taking photographs can be found along the road which leads from Stilligarry to Loch Skipport. Early or late in the day provides the best light for photography.
