Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve

Park rangers lead guided tours into the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve near Kinlochewe. Opened in 1951, it was Britain's first nature reserve and in 1976 it was upgraded to a UNESCO biosphere reservation. Scotch pines and birch woods dominate the landscape on the lower slopes, but at higher altitudes alpine flora such as alpine azaleas can be found. Wildlife includes red deer, pine martens, wild cats, snow hares, red foxes and golden eagles.
