Creag Meagaidh feels like the Highlands compressed into one nature reserve. Golden eagle and peregrine falcon can be seen hunting the slopes, while dotterel and ptarmigan breed on the high tops. On the lower slopes, you’ll see black grouse and on the upper slopes ring ouzel. Foxes, pine martens, badgers, otters and red and roe deer are all found here. As the habitats recover, more native species return and the balance of nature is restored.
