Montrose, on the North East coast of Scotland, is notable for its tidal
basin. There is a variety of different zones on the Reserve ranging
from the mud, fresh water, sea water, brackish water, saltmarsh,
reedbed, unimproved grassland and arable land. The Reserve is
particularly noted for the birds that breed, feed and roost there, but
it is also notable for its plant life (both in and out of the water).
