Loch Insh Outdoor Centre

03/09/2026

September is easily one of our favourite months here at the centre 👌
The summer crowds thin out, the water is calm, and the autumn colors are starting to show. 🍂
Come for a morning sail, rent a board for a paddle, or warm up in our Lochside Sauna right on the water’s edge.

Afterward, pop into the Boathouse Restaurant for a bite to eat and a hot drink.

Want to stretch your visit into a proper weekend reset? Grab a cosy log cabin and spend your evenings soaking in the hot tub.

We always tell our guests to keep an eye out for wildlife during our river trips, but this takes it to a whole new level! 🐾🌊

A huge shoutout to Murray’s stag do, who stayed with us recently and ended up making national news by capturing what's believed to be the first ever recorded video of a Scottish wildcat swimming! 🐈‍⬛💨

"Swimming wildcats" has officially been added to the list of wildlife you might spot on our river trips. 🚣‍♂️👀
