Highland Wildlife Park
Recommended by
Overview
The Highland Wildlife Park is set in the beautiful Cairngorms National Park, and is home to around 200 animals including Walker and Arktos the UK’s only polar bears; a troop of snow monkeys, and a family of Amur tigers. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands with a Land Rover tour through the park’s main reserve, where they will be able to spot some of the larger residents such as the European bison, elk and Przewalski’s horse. Each day, there is a series of keeper-led talks, where you can find out more about the many fascinating species that reside here.

About the area
Apart from the Orkneys and the Shetlands, Highland is Scotland’s northernmost county. Probably its most famous feature is the mysterious and evocative Loch Ness, allegedly home to an ancient monster that has embedded itself in the world’s modern mythology, and the region’s tourist industry.
