About

Insh Marshes is a flooded area of ​​the River Spey, located between Kingussie and Kincraig in Badenoch and Strathspey in the Scottish Highlands. The swamp is said to be one of the most important wetlands in Europe. Situated at an altitude of about 240 to 220 m above sea level, they are one of the largest quagmire and fragrant vegetation areas in Scotland's floodplains. The marshland covers an area of ​​approximately 11 square kilometers and has multiple nature reserves. The site is 7 square kilometers, owned and managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), and forms a national nature reserve. RSPB arranged several marked trails and provided two bird skins for visitors to appreciate the area and its birdlife.
