Meikle Loch

Meikle Loch is an inland loch some miles north of Collieston, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

It is designated as part of the Ythan Estuary complex, along with the Sands of Forvie, as a Special Protection Area for wildlife conservation purposes.

It is a eutrophic loch with limited aquatic vegetation but is important as the home to overwintering pink-footed geese.

Additionally, it is an essential breeding location for three species of tern during the summer months and houses a tremendous variety of reedswamp plants.
