The Sandpiper

Glasgow Airport is between Black Cart Water and White Cart Water, eight miles west of the city centre. It occupies a 700-acre parcel of land known as Abbotsinch (or island). Paisley Moss Local Nature Reserve lies within the airport’s boundary and is a short walk from the terminal. A hidden oasis for wildlife, the nature reserve is well known for common snipe and its wintering Jack snipe, both of which are members of the sandpiper family.
