Noss National Nature Reserve
Take a boat trip to this island where thousands of seabirds and wonderful scenery guarantee a memorable experience. Some 45,000 guillemots, 7,000 pairs of gannets and several thousand fulmars, kittiwakes and puffins crowd its noisy ledges during the breeding season. Look out for seals in the surrounding seas and dive-bombing great skuas in the moorland interior.
Visitor centre and toilets. The walk around the island takes about three hours over moderate ground. Sturdy footwear is required.
