About Loch Fleet
Loch Fleet is a sea loch between Golspie and Dornoch, in Highland, Scotland. It forms the estuary of the River Fleet, which is a small spate river east of Lairg. The loch was designated a National Nature Reserve (NNR) in 1998, and is managed by a partnership between NatureScot, the Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) and Sutherland Estates.
The loch is good example of a wide tidal basin with sand dunes, coastal heath, mudflats and pinewoods. Otters and seals are to be found here, as well as ospreys and tern fish during summer.
The ruins of Skelbo Castle are situated on the south side of the loch.
Facilities around the lake include a parking car area, information panels and guided summer walks by Highland Council Ranger Service.
