Because these birds thrive in areas with a mix of tall trees and open agricultural land, the Lunan Valley provides a perfect habitat. Just a couple of miles southwest sits Balgavies Loch Nature Reserve, which is frequently cited as one of the best places in Angus to spot them.
Their presence here is a true conservation success story. Once extinct in Scotland, reintroduced populations are now thriving and expanding across the region. When you are looking for them around the ridge, watch for their effortless glide and reddish-brown plumage against the sky. Seeing them drift silently over the cabin is a reminder of wild nature returning to its rightful place
