| |  Pine Marten
Hello folks,
I'm planning a widlife watching trip to the Highlands in Scotland in Feb/March, and I would really love to see Pine Martens.
Has anyone any suggestions about places to see them? Good spots, or organised marten watching trips?
Thanks.
P.S. Not been on here for a while; lovely to make your acquaintance again!  |

Hi Emma, Pauline (PMG) has some pics on her Gallery as I recall from Scotland of Pine Martens.I`m sure they were taken from a viewing hide of sorts which is baited for guaranteed views.If she doesnt see this thread it might be worth sending her a pm to find out more

Try the Ardnamurchan peninsula west of Strontian. There are many holiday properties that feed martens which regularly put in an appearance. The static homes at the camp site at Resipol have regular visitors. |

theres a b+b that my girlfreind reccomends where they feed them in the evening - i think its called cromasaig (i may have spelt that wrong) but i'd imagine a google will find it.

eeyore: was it this place?
Tom and Liz Forest at Cromasaig B&B (I can't get the link in without "default" popping up.) Try cromasaig.com
Also try to find Mr Madden's "Dunlachlan" just west of Strontian. Good luck.

Thanks everyone, some brilliant suggestions. Can't wait to (hopefully) see one of these beautiful creatures in the wild.
I hear that they are on the increase and are spreading their range too, isn't that great. Apparently some have even spread their range over to Skye by crossing over the road bridge - clever! |

Hi Emma .... I have finally got around to replying to your PM.
PM = private message, not Pine Marten
I hope you get lucky and see one, a Pine Marten that is
