Wildlife on the Reserve A closer look at the dramatic Alladale landscape reveals a variety of precious habitats, providing critical ecological niches for the rare species that live in the Highlands. Red squirrels, black grouse, crossbills, and pine marten dwell among the Scots pines and native broadleaf trees; mountain hares, ptarmigan, red grouse can be found in the montane zone on the high tops, and golden eagles can be seen soaring overhead. Ospreys and sea eagles occasionally visit the Reserve searching for the salmon and brown trout found in our rivers and lochs.
As our landscape restoration projects expand and mature, the whole Highland ecosystem benefits.
