SCOTLAND

Over the years we have visited Scotland many many times,  indeed we consider it our second home and for several happy years it actually was.

Year after year we return and have found some wonderful cabins and cottages where wildlife including badgers (of course) red deer, red squirrels and pine martens abound.

Unlike commercial hides where everything is set up for you including food, here, you are on your own and totally dependent on your own  wildlife watching skills to see these animals as they visit your cottage on a nightly basis.  So ......

First up: Glen Strathfarrar near Beauly, Inverness.  This is a very special Glen.  It is privately owned and it is gated.  Anyone staying in the cabins will be given a key to access the Glen.  There's no wifi, no television and very bad phone signal, so if you can't live without these things, this is not for you.  Most of the nocturnal images taken on this website are from Glen Strathfarrar, but it took patience and a lot of effort to set up !  The Glen is beautiful and in late Autumn, with the rare Aspens, it is beyond stunning.
