Local Wildlife
 
Even within walking distance of the lodge visitors can explore a wonderful range of habitats. Stepping out of the front gate the road into the glen follows the River Loy which is flanked by beautiful oak woodland with its abundance of flowers in the spring.  At the head of the glen is a remarkable stand of ancient Caledonian pine wood. Red deer, roe deer and a wide variety of woodland birds are readily seen.  Lucky visitors may even get to a close view of one of the resident pine martens or a glimpse of a soaring eagle.
