The RSPB maintain the area around Kinnordy Loch a s a bird reserve, with public rides on the south side of the loch. There is a path to the loch, which starts from the top of the Den. The area can be overgrown at times and stout footwear is recommended, as the path can be quite wet.
The Gairie Burn was dredged to lower the loch in the 19th century and the material removed was piled up along its banks. Follow the path along the south bank before crossing a stone arch bridge. At the start of a reeded area youn can branch off to the bird hides and Westmuir. Alternatively continue through the reeded area to clear ground whwere the loch is visible.
The path continues along the edge of the woods until you reach a farm track where a sign directs you northwards to an unclassified road. There is a track parallel to this road for the part of the way back to Caddam Wood. Follow the road itself to the junction with Kinnordy Road. Turn right to follow this back to your starting point, or you can branch off into Caddam Wood.
