Where To Spot Red Squirrels

New leaflet highlights Highland hotspots for red squirrels  

Fans of red squirrels can now find the best sites to see them in the wilds of the Scottish Highlands thanks to a new leaflet showing red squirrel hotspots.

From Fort William to Forres and from Contin to the Boat of Garten and Laggan, the 12 featured sites offer great opportunities to see red squirrels in the wild.

The leaflet has been produced by conservation project ‘Red Squirrels of the Highlands’, which is funded by LEADER, Forestry Commission Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Cairngorms National Park Authority.

As well as providing some information on site facilities, the leaflet includes a red squirrel fact file, as well as details of how visitors can get involved and help record the range and number of red squirrels. All the hotspots are close to car parks to enhance accessibility.
