Skye has incredible natural beauty, a varied coastline, vast areas of wild land to explore and is home to a wide variety of amazing wildlife. Our guests often want to know more about Skye’s wildlife. So, we provide the answers to commonly asked questions such as “Are there otters on Skye?”; “Can I see golden eagles on Skye?” and “Will I see seals on a boat trip from Elgol?” in our short guides.
We want to help visitors to Springbank discover more, find new experiences and take away memories to cherish. Our mammal guides will help you locate and watch key mammal species. These include guides to dolphins, basking sharks, seals, and otters.
The bird guides include golden eagles, white-tailed sea eagles and sea birds as well some interesting birds that are well worth looking out for by season. These include ptarmigan, dipper, golden plover and common sandpiper.
