Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

On our short trip out last Friday to the Inverarnie Stores we saw a variety of animals along the way. The highland cattle with their calf sharing a field with a very happy frisky white cow near Loch Ruthven. Drove passed the llama farmer and then the roaming sheep giving you 'that look' as you dare to disturb their munching and dozing in the sun. Had to stop and wait patiently while the herd of cows were moved into another field. Saw Bonnie the rescued deer in her garden with the very protective pet dogs. Finally spotted a buzzard having his lunch on a rock -next time will have to bring the tripod for a steadier hand.
