Fantastic place to watch bottle nosed dolphins close up over the summer months. Plan your visit to arrive an hour after low tide. Note: car park often full and parking a bit of a nightmare.

Reindeer are beautiful animals. You can visit the viewing pen or walk up into the hills with the rangers to see them.

Handa is a stunning Island on the West Coast of Scotland. It takes just over two hours to reach the ferry port - the ferry runs through out the day over the summer and only takes 10 minutes to reach the island. Handa is home to all kinds of wildlife including many seabirds such as puffins and great skuas. The drive there is stunning too!

RSPB Loch Garten sits within the Abernethy Forest which is part of the Cairngorm National Park. There's a beautiful loch and forest walks. The centre currently has a camera on a white-tailed sea eagle nest. In the winter there's the chance to spot crested tits.

Loch Ness is close to The Drey. It's possible to drive around it or to go on boat trips to see the views and wildlife. There are a couple of museums and plenty of places to eat and drink in the villages on its shores.

This is the local bar/restaurant and is in walking distance of The Drey although I would recommend a torch if visiting in the evening as the streets aren't lit.
