Nature

Our wildlife, changing seasons and stargazing

With its highly varied landscape Glenlivet Estate is a very special place for wildlife. Up on the high moors, if you are sharp eyed and very lucky, you may spot a mountain hare, black grouse, or even a golden eagle passing by. In the woods and valleys red squirrels, pine martins, otters and dippers along the River Avon, may also reward those who patiently wait.

With views second to none, each season also brings its own palate of colours. The fresh greens of spring give way to a multitude of colour during the summer months. The purple heather clad hill tops of late summer gradually turn into golden tones of autumn. Winter has its own appeal too, with frosty mornings and the prospect of a snow blanket that makes the world look so serene. You will never be disappointed whatever season you visit!
