Local Wildlife
This part of Scotland is blessed with an abundance
of wildlife. This is due in part to the virtually unspoilt nature
of much of the countryside and the low level of human habitation,
and in part to the unique climate enjoyed by Scotland - northerly,
yet made more temperate by the effects of the Gulf Stream. Here
are just a few pictures of the wildlife we have seen. Click on
the small picture to see a larger version.
