Wildlife Bonanza in Speyside

The special northern dragonflies, butterflies and wild flowers are our focus, with the chance of some Highland birds and mammals too, on our much requested Highland Full Monty!

• Special and scarce Highland butterflies and dragonflies
• Walk in Glen Affric to beautiful, dragonfly rich Coire Lochan
• Ten species of orchid likely, including Small White and Lesser Twayblade
• Relaxed Cairngorm walk for alpine flowers as well as Frog Orchid
• A great list of Scottish birds and mammals too
• Based at a small country house hotel on the edge of the pine forest
• The perfect holiday for the ‘all-round’ naturalist

A fabulous holiday for the general naturalist with an interest in the whole variety of Scotland’s wildlife, timed to give us the greatest variety of the special dragonflies, butterflies and flowers of the Highlands, plus some of the areas exciting mammals and birds too. Staying at a delightful hotel in Speyside, with minibus transport and generally easy walking with two longer walks with some steeper sections in the mountains and in Glen Affric.

"Mountain Day - couldn’t believe the plant species around the Northern Corries. Loch Garten and Abernethy - so many dragonflies! West coast trip - beautiful scenery and great wildlife. Finding rare orchids and Twinflower. Glen Affric - what a place!" Dorothy Noble, 2021
