Angus Glens - Glen Doll
Large Red deer (Cervus elaphus) herd in upper Glen Prosen, Angus. Red deer have increased greatly in numbers, and need to be culled to prevent overgrazing and damage to natural vegetation, in particular to tree growth and natural regeneration. Red deer are more active during the morning and evening but can be seen more often during the long daylight hours of summer.

Glen Torridon
Bell Heather (Erica cinerea) with its mass of purple flowers in June, Glen Torridon. Most often found on heathlands, Bell Heather is a good source of nectar for a range of invertebrates. Man-made heather moorlands in Scotland are however the source of much controversy. Some conservation groups would like to see them 'rewilded' meaning they could return to a more natural state, which could support a wider range of species.
