Local attractions
Well worth a visit is 'Da Gairdins I Sand'.

There are sheltered walks, picnic areas, wildflower meadows and wildlife ponds, creating a combination of garden and environmental spaces.
Abundant Wildlife
Because of its proximity to the sea, and the salt marsh which lies between 'Da Gairdins' and the sea, the area is a magnet to nesting and migrating birds. There have even been whimbrel nesting in the heather at Hill of Gairdins!
