Scan the waters of Loch Eck for signs of the ancient crannogs, visible when the water is low

A clear sky at night is a wonder to behold.  At dusk observe the wild Red Deer herd chancing the open for the lush green grass, spot the Red Squirrel which is common in these parts. If you are lucky you might glimpse an Otter on the river or lochside, even the Pine Marten is occasionally seen.
