Dunoon and the surrounding Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute offer a wealth of opportunities to experience Scottish wildlife. Here's a glimpse of what you might find:



Holy Loch:🦆 The head of Holy Loch, especially the mudflats at Sandbank, is excellent for birdwatching. 🕊️You might spot curlews, oystercatchers, wigeon, and red-breasted mergansers. There's a bird hide at Broxwood for better viewing.🦆


Puck's Glen: 🦊This magical woodland with gorges and waterfalls is another habitat for red squirrels.🦊




Holy Loch Nature Reserve:🕊️ A community-run reserve mainly for birdwatching, with saltmarsh, wildflower meadows, and woodland habitats.🕊️


To increase your chances of seeing wildlife, remember to be patient, quiet, and observe from a distance. Dawn and dusk are often the best times to spot many animals. Enjoy exploring the natural beauty around Dunoon!
