Hi Yellowhammer
What the heck is WTWBIS????
We've a little info about Loch of the Lowes in our Opus section: Loch of the Lowes - BirdForum Opus
You should be able to access the hides: there's a double-decker one (upstairs is better if you can manage the steps), and another new one to the right, though I'm not sure if that one is unlocked when there's no staff around.
There's a feeding station to the side of the visitor centre.
On the walk from the car park to the hides, do take your time to check the woodland on your left and the field on the right for any wildlife.
Also from the far end of the car park is a walk which takes you through the woods fringing the edge of the loch and a peep-hole screen to look out over the water. Beside this is a gate back onto the road (more-or-less where the arrow is pointing on this map, and on the opposite side a gate to a track which leads up and round a field to Fungarth and back onto the main road which will take you back to the car park. It makes for a nice walk with the possibility of some wildlife. There was a golf course in that big field, but I'm not sure if it still is.
Apart from that.... rather depends if you want walking or sitting in the car looking. There's possibilities for both really and will very much depend on the weather.
