The Loch of Kinnordy, a small shallow stretch of water about 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) west of the town of Kirriemuir in Angus, Scotland, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a RamsarInternational treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands, signed by 18 countries in 1971. The UK signed in 1976, and as at 2025 has 176 Ramsar sites. site and a Special Protection Area.^[1][2]

The loch is eutrophic, high in nutrients providing the ideal conditions for plant life to thrive, and if left unmanaged would naturally turn from open water into woodland.^[3] Its importance lies in its diversity of wetland habitats, and the number and variety of birds that they support, including wintering greylag geese (Anser anser).

The present-day loch is a fraction of its original size, owing in part to a series of attempts to drain it to facilitate the removal of marl.^[1]
