Managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, Luggiebank Wood has grassland, scrub and riverside woodland habitats. Alder and birch trees have allowed a rich and diverse ground flora to develop where wildflowers flourish. Kingfishers can be seen diving into the meandering Luggie Water and if you’re lucky you may even spot a badger foraging in the woodland. 

 

Highlights

  • Look out for dippers and otters while enjoying a peaceful riverside walk 
  • Sit by the Luggie Water in spring to watch mayflies hatch in their thousands 
  • Visit in November and December and you might see trout jumping from the Luggie
