Natural History of the Highlands

July 11 - July 15

Join us at Highland’s “Wildlife Hotel”, The Grant Arms to discover some of the special Natural History of the Highlands. From Orchids to Dragonflies and Dolphins, we offer a special opportunity to see some of the key species found in the region as well as the birds. Each day we visit a different habitat from Highland glens, ancient Caledonian pine forest, upland moors to the coast, taking in some of special plants, insects, animals and birds particular to the Scottish Highlands. Some of the key species we hope to find include the beautiful Twinflower, One-flowered Wintergreen, Creeping Ladies Tresses, Coralroot Orchid, Lesser Twayblade, White-faced Darter, Northern Damselfly, Northern Brown Argus and Mountain Ringlet amongst many others.

The breaks are aimed at beginners and experts alike with a love of natural history, as a chance to explore a wide variety of species and habitats of the Highlands in the time available. They aren’t intended to be intensive field studies in one particular specialist area, but an opportunity to sample a selection of the flora and fauna of the Highlands and some of the species special to that region with a local guide.
