We had a great time
“We did the Woodland Wildlife & Heritage Walk in early October with Sara-Jane. We had a great time. Sara-Jane was very cheerful and kind and even brought some tea and biscuits which we had while enjoying the lovely views. We learned a lot of interesting things and also came across a tiny mouse and the biggest and shiniest mushroom we have ever seen. We would definitely recommend Wild Alba Tours. Thank you for the lovely morning!”

Really like Wild Alba Tour’s stewardship and education message
We very much enjoyed the walk learning about the role of the pigs in the forest and the various plants and animals. Really like Wild Alba Tour’s stewardship and education message. Happy to recommend Wild Alba.

Really interesting and enjoyable walk in a lovely woodland
We booked a woodland walk during a visit to Craigellachie. Sara-Jane our guide was friendly, down to earth and very knowledgeable about the local wildlife, history and heritage of the area.
We learned how to spot and identify the songs of several birds including coal tits, great tits, song thrush and buzzards.
We were lucky to have a beautiful day for the walk but I think Sara-Jane would be able to make it interesting and enjoyable for everyone regardless of the weather or your knowledge.”
