The sleek & playful Otter

The graceful Golden Eagle

The Old Man of Storr

The Monarch of the glen

You don't need to have Royal Marine training to be able to appreciate the great outdoors, so Mitchell's walks can be enjoyed by people of all ages. He will take you in search of his favourite mammal and most formidable competitor on the river, the Otter ( the Otter always catches more fish.) Down at the loch side, Grey and Harbour Seals can be seen at high tide. Oyster Catchers, Herons, Cormorants and Gannets are just a few of the species of birds abundant around the rugged shoreline.

Venture higher up onto the hills and you will be in raptor country. Buzzards, Peregrine Falcons, and the mighty Golden Eagle can be seen soaring on the thermals. This is where you may find Grouse and the most famous of  all Highland animals, the majestic Red Deer, grazing in the heather.

The nature walks take place on the Kingsburgh Sporting Estate, just 8 miles form the main Skye town of Portree. The estate covers 12,500 acres and is a magical expanse steeped in history and myth. You could visit the birthplace of Flora Macdonald or walk along the chaplains pass to see the remains of a bronze age dwelling. Mitchell will pass on to you the tales and history of this romantic and beautiful part of the Isle of Skye. A visit to Kingsburgh Estate will remain in your memory forever.

Guided Walk Equipment

Mitchell can supply binoculars on request, but feel free to take along your own. You are advised to wear strong walking boots and take wet weather gear, incase the weather changes unexpectedly (which happens quite often on Skye.) Please try to avoid wearing bright clothes, it's not essential but would obviously help in the search of wildlife if you blend in with the natural surroundings.
