Spring Walks
At the moment the wild cherry blossom is in full bloom on the track beside the burn. Further on aconites and primroses can be seen on the rhododendron walk.
The heron is busy catching frog spawn on the loch while the ducks are starting to pair up.
No matter what time of year you spend a holiday here there is always something different to be seen while out walking on Springburn.
Things to be looking out for next month.
The osprey usually visits to go fishing on the loch. The young deer are due to be born. A fawn was once seen being born in the garden at the kestrel cabin by the Robinson family.
The rhododendrons will be in full bloom. The most important event will be the arrival of Charlie the Highland Cow calf. We are busy preparing the field for him at the moment.
This bright and cosy lodge has french windows which open onto a veranda looking west towards Pluscarden Glen (Home of the famous Pluscarden Abbey). Ospreys have been nearby.
Kestrel nestles on the edge of a five-acre natural woodland. Many species of wildlife can be observed from this peaceful setting. The cabin has panoramic views facing south from the french windows.
A private track follows a small burn through a wooded glade up the hill to the Buzzard cabin. This cabin is situated on an elevated site and shares the open woodland with deer and badgers.
