Kids, bring your binoculars and catch a glimpse
of some of Toffee's favourite Scottish wildlife,
like the buzzard, red squirrel, red deer and otters.
Nature lovers will delight in the diversity of the Scottish Highlands.

The Highland Games are dotted about all over the Highlands throughout the year. Toffee is always popping up to watch "toss the caber" or join in with the pipers.

The City of Inverness

Whin Park is worth a visit in the summer with its boating pond and miniature steam railway and a fantastic play area.

Toffee loves going on walks, why not take a walk along the River Ness and see if you can spot any seals feeding on freshly caught salmon.

Dolphin watching is a real hit with the kids

Golden Eagle

How many butterflies?

Aviemore and the Cairngorms


Visit Loch Morlich, Toffee's favourite spot for canoeing, with the Cairngorms as the backdrop, a real Highland setting.
This area is a stronghold of the ancient Caledonian Pinewoods, descendants of the old natural forests. Take a walk in the forests and see if you can spot some of Toffee's friends, the red squirrel or see how many pinecones you can collect.

 

For mums and dads - Enjoy a dram at Dalwhinnie Distillery, the Highest in the world.
