How would you like to view Highland red squirrels like this one
in the photo above?
We are planning a series of 'hot spots' to be
created around the Highlands for locals and visitors alike to
enjoy. Each 'hot spot' will consist of a
feeder with a screen to shield
viewers.
The screens will have slots built in so that people can view the
squirrels without disturbing them. The slots will be placed
at different heights so that adults, children and those in buggies
and wheelchairs can all enjoy the experience. Also, all ability
paths will lead up to the screens.
So where will they be in the Highlands? We are hoping to
create about five 'hot spots'.
- Inverness-shire: situated near
Inverness. Hope to be completed by the end of 2010
- Lochaber: situated near Fort William.
Hope to be completed by the end of 2010
- Badenoch & Strathspey: a location
yet to be finalised
- Ross-shire: a location yet to be
found
- Sutherland: a location yet to be
found
If you have any ideas about suitable locations,
let Juliet know. I will keep you updated with
progress on this blog. Let's hope the red squirrels like their soon
to be created 'hot spots'!
