WILDLIFE & NATURE WALKS 2008

The Scottish Highlands have some of the most spectacular and rare flora and fauna in Britain. The Ben Lawers range of mountains is world renowned for the rare plants & flowers on its slopes and right up to the summit areas. There are beautiful orchids too on lower levels around Loch Tay.

On the hills and at lower levels you can see red deer, red squirrels and mountain hares. Some rare birds too. Ptarmigan only live above 600m on the mountains of Scotland and we have snow bunting as well, two arctic birds. If you are lucky we may even spot a golden eagle.

We have less strenous walking to see all this wonderful wildlife and beautiful flowers. Maybe you prefer just a stroll to take in the beautiful scenery, woodland and waterfalls around the area. Please contact us for your requirements or maybe we can give you some ideas of what's available to suit your level of walking.
