Our four visitor centres provide incredible wildlife and educational experiences to tens of thousands of people each year.
If you’re looking for a wild day out with all the family, why not visit one of our four visitor centres?
Each has something different to offer, from nesting ospreys at Loch of the Lowes to Jupiter’s urban oasis in the heart of industrial Grangemouth. Find out more about each of the visitor centres below.
Visit the centre for access to the hides over looking the loch. With great views of the osprey eyrie just 150m away, nesting great crested grebes, swans, ducks, geese and more.
The centre also boasts a special viewing window where you can sit with a cup of coffee and watch garden birds, woodpeckers and red squirrels up close.
A bird haven situated in the heart of Angus on the edge of a tidal estuary, the Basin is of international importance for over 100,000 migratory birds each year.
Tens of thousands of pink-footed geese can be seen on the reserve in Autumn, and the visitor centre telescopes are set up perfectly for watching a huge diversity of wildlife, including common seals, kingfisher, and osprey.
Situated in the historic village of New Lanark, the Falls of Clyde have provided inspiration for artists including Turner and Wordsworth.
The reserve first came under Trust ownership in 1968, and in 1984 the visitor centre was officially opened by Dr David Bellamy.
As well as stunning waterfalls and woodland on offer, the reserve is home to badgers, bats and in some years, nesting peregrine falcons.
It’s easy to forget you’re in the heart of Grangemouth when visiting this urban wildlife haven. A true environmental success story, this once barren wasteland is now a green oasis.
Jupiter, which was opened by Magnus Magnusson in 1992, is a great place to see birds, butterflies and dragonflies and you can even try your hand at pond dipping!
