On the west coast of Scotland we are fortunate to have habitats suitable for some stunning wildlife.  If you are in the UK you may have watched the recent BBC programme “Wild Cameramen at Work” which featured Argyll and highlighted some of the amazing creatures on land, sea and in the air that can be seen.

Scotland is one of the last strongholds of the red squirrel and the Argyll Forest park which surrounds Loch Goil is home to this fascinating and cute little mammal.   On the Loch we have a seal colony and porpoises are often spotted on the hunt for fish.   These are just a few examples of wildlife in this area and we have added a page on wildlife around Loch Goil, Argyll and the Loch Lomond National Park to our website which shows you just some of the birds and animals you may see.

Whether you are staying in Scotland for week or just a short break it can enhance your stay if you see our native wildlife .  There is no guarantee that you will spot specific birds or animals however it does help if you know the best places to go and the ideal conditions for wildlife spotting so we are adding a new section to the house information guide especially for our guests.  It offers hints and tips from our own experience and from previous guests and we hope future guests will add their advice.

2013 is The Year of Natural Scotland, so what better time to book a stay at Rhumhor Holiday Lodge and come and see the very best of nature for yourself?
