Accommodation:
Accommodation is at a clean and comfortable Guest House with an excellent Scottish Breakfast each morning too! Rooms are based on twin occupancy - please enquire if you want to look at a single supplement. Arrival is for a Sunday evening meal and departure after breakfast on Saturday morning.
Level of fitness: There are short walks for most activities which may be tricky if there's lots of snow around and involve uneven terrain. The optional trips to the mountains (weather conditions willing) for Ptarmigan involves 2 mile walks each way over snow and ice and they are fairly strenuous so require a good level of fitness as well as appropriate clothing.
LEVEL 2 to 3 (5 for the Ptarmigan option)

Highland Winter
The Scottish Highlands in winter offer dramatic potential. Snow, frost, ice and wildlife make for a heady combination of opportunities that vary each year as the conditions do. We’ll have exclusive use of a range of hides to allow us to capture local highlights including Red Squirrel, Crested Tit and a variety of other woodland birds. We’ll also look to photograph Red Deer, weather willing (and on an optional basis) head into the mountains in search of Ptarmigan, Snow Bunting and with luck even Mountain Hare, and a full days raptor photography with Golden Eagle and Peregrine amongst the possible highlights. With stunning landscape potential all around as well this trip offers a real opportunity to capture all that a Highland Winter has to offer the nature photographer.
