 | | Insh Marshes Nature Reserve is an outstanding wetland of international importance covering 1,000 hectares of the floodplain of the river Spey between Kingussie and Kincraig in Inverness-shire. |
 | | Nature Reserves and statutory environmental designations help maintain these areas in the condition in which visitors expect to see them, and the provision of nature trails, literature, displays and other visitor facilities enhance the experience. |
 | | Staff on the reserve maintain the grazing infrastructure of fencing, gates, ditches, tracks and bridges, and provide further help in the form of electric fencing, some assistance with animal husbandry, tractor topping of rushes, control of scrub and, from 1998, the provision of stock handling pens. |
