Wildlife

The top five wildlife you’re likely to see:

1. The acrobatic red squirrel in village gardens and local pinewoods
2. Red deer beside the River Clunie at dusk
3. Snow buntings beside the Glenshee car park in winter
4. Ptarmigan near the summit of Morrone, above Braemar
5. Mountain hares on many of the hills surrounding the village

We would recommend a walk around Creag Choinnich nature trail or why not join a ranger led activity at Mar Lodge or Balmoral to discover more about the unique flora and fauna in the area?
