Why it's Wildland

4.9

A freshwater loch in the Angus countryside, best known locally as a trout-fishing destination. The River Lunan runs through it, and fishing is mainly from boats operated by the Rescobie Loch Development Association.

Rescobie Loch earns its place for a distinctly waterside experience in the Angus countryside, with trout fishing and a river running through the loch. It is a worthwhile local nature stop, though the available evidence does not establish a network of visitor trails or wider facilities.
