Loch Ness

Baby red squirrels

The second batch of young red squirrels are starting to appear in gardens. They are very young and vulnerable. We all keep an eye out for them and feed them well.

Dores beach

Take a stroll along Dores beach at the eastern end of Loch Ness or sit outside and soak up the views. Enjoy a meal in the local Dores Inn. Great spell of weather lately with a welcoming warm breeze.

Sailing by on Loch Ness

Weather is excellent which encouraged various boating craft of all sizes to enjoy the waters of Loch Ness.

Blue sky thinking

Wonderful clear blue sky all day but with a slight chill in the air. Should be lots of stars to see tonight. Walked down to Farigaig pier on Loch Ness and soaked up the amazing views. Most of the snow has now gone from the mountain tops at lower levels and enjoyed the feeling that Spring is on its way.

Scottish wildcat seen

Scottish Wild Cat seen very near Camerons Cottage at Glenlia Farm yesterday following our farm cat Lucy .The first Scottish Wildcat seen by the Cameron family in the area for 20 years. Quite a spectacular sight.

Great Spotted Woodpecker

Keep your eyes and ears alert for the Great Spotted Woodpeckers in the area. These birds are seen more frequently in gardens now and are unmistakable with their stunning colours.
