The Highlands has topped a new list of the best places to go nature-spotting in the UK.
A study by outdoor store chain Millets hailed the Scottish region’s wealth of wildlife, from wild birds to beasties to the Highlands’ abundant heathers.
It named the Highlands as among the best spots in Britain to spot feathered friends like chaffinches, robins, oystercatchers, swallows and blue tits.
