Wildlife Adventures in Scotland

Scotland is one of the last corners of real wilderness in the UK. Particularly in the north of the country, Scotland’s mighty mountain ranges, vast, open moorlands, rugged islands, deep lochs and dark pine forests provide refuge for a vast array of wildlife, some of which is particularly tricky to track down.

With expert local guides however, a wildlife holiday in Scotland with Not In The Guidebooks gives you the very best chance at spotting creatures such as dolphins, golden eagles, red deer, otters, seals, red squirrels and more, as you benefit from the local knowledge of these animals and their habitats.

Whether it’s a day experience to find the Scottish Big 5, or a week-long epic adventure of walks, whisky and wildlife, you’ll get off the beaten track in Scotland and discover more than just the animals that live here. You’ll get a real taste of authentic Scottish life in the Highlands, and head home having felt you’ve enjoyed a unique experience that wouldn’t have been possible without the services of a passionate, welcoming host.
