Wildlife Nature Hide & Tours
Our wildlife hide allows photographers to get up close to some of Scotlands iconic nature such as the Pine Marten and Red Squirrel. Guests staying can use our wildlife hide for free but we also offer packages of guided tours and workshops for non residents.
Our Wildlife hide is for exclusive use so no sharing with loads of others. It can seat 2 people and has a wide window for a view of the natural perches with tripod attachments and comfortable seating. Set within our wildlife garden we have planted trees, plants and wildflowers to attract the bees, insects and mammals. Even with a basic camera you can capture amazing images. A Camera with a lens of 200-500mm is perfect. We have a wealth of local knowledge of wildlife watching opportunities, from Otters, Curlew, Red Shank, Oystercatchers, Seals, Porpoises, & Gannets.
We have a reflection pool and Squirrel Jump for amazing photography opportunities. Children under 12 can only use the hide when accompanied by an adult. Peanuts are used as feed so its not suitable for allergy sufferers. We offer Astro photography session and if lucky the Aurora. We have regular visits from Tawny Owls and in the past have watched chicks being raised here. As the seasons change there is always something of interest to photograph all convientiently located in the garden or surrounding area. Autumn and Winter are fantastic to see wildlife. Check out our social media pages for latest images and videos. We make no guarantees of the wildlife but it is rare that photographers don't get amazing photographs.
