Sunday 18 August 1.00 Bunloit Estate, Loch Ness
From the Highlands Rewilding team
Following last year's successful event, you are warmly invited to join Anna Macfie as she leads a guided dragonfly walk at Bunloit this Sunday.
This is a completely free event, suitable for all ages and lasting around two hours.
If you are curious to learn more about these fascinating creatures and how we monitor them, keep your eyes peeled for breeding dragonfly species such as Four-spotted chaser, Common and Southern hawkers, Black darter, Large Red and Emerald damselflies.
No need to book, please meet the group at the long lay-by nearest the Lenie track on the Bunloit road on August 18th.
If you have any questions, please contact Bunloit's Estate Manager at

Please ensure you wear sturdy footwear suitable for uneven wet ground.

We have an ornamental garden surrounding the house (new information discovered dates it from the 17th rather than 18th Century), and a three acre productive garden with two Keder greenhouses, designed using agroforestry and permaculture principles and gardened bio-dynamically using no-dig technique. The ornamental garden has different areas with distinctive characters. There is a parterre in front of the house with informal planting, a lower garden, an ornamental propagation garden, a mound and orchard. Hedges, (pleached lime, yew, beech, box, holly and mixed species field hedges) clipped in various styles connect the different areas of the garden. We have started to remove perimeter wire fences replacing them with log hedges and brash bunds. With a keen interest in gardening for biodiversity from the soil upwards, no chemicals have been used since our arrival in 1995. The development and improvement of the garden is ongoing. Champion Trees: Yew and sweet chestnut.
Directions: From Inverness head four miles north on the A9, and follow the directions for Black Isle Brewery. Park up at the Brewery and walk down to the garden. Directions will be given in the shop.
