wildlife,
some of which turn pure white in winter. Species such as the Osprey fly

show you the beautiful views known to the locals, (and others). We travel through part
of Monarch of the Glen country, places you may have seen
on the B.B.C television series. The identification of the outside
filming locations has resulted in a household competition for
us and many of our friends can be spotted in the series. Then the history,
Scandinavians the Picts, the Irish, and Normans. The clans
and their way of life centuries ago, their support for the Royal House
of
Stewart and the Scottish claim for independence. It’s tales
of Glen Coe and Culloden, and General Wade and his military roads,
which
have now become an attraction to walkers and ramblers. We tell you of
the people
who lived here and their association with their chiefs and where and
how
they lived. For further
