We have long been concerned by the impact of our modern age on our
precious Highland natural heritage.
In order to reduce the environmental footprint of our business we have worked
hard to ensure that as much of the waste generated on site as possible is
re-cycled or composted. We have now had 16 solar panels installed on the
roof of our barn. These will supply The Byre with some of the electricity
which our visitors use.
In many ways the winter is the best time of year to see wildlife. Greater Spotted
Woodpeckers are feasting on peanuts in front of the Byre on a more of less daily basis.
They are hard to spot in summer. We saw a lovely big dog fox in Glen Loy this week,
not far from where we saw a white tailed eagle circling over us on Beinn Bhan. Red
deer are also much easier to find at this time of year as they come down off the tops
to seek shelter and food.
