LatestIt is late January and in the western Highlands of Scotland, and it's unusually warm, even at night. The warmth has brought red deer out of hiding. With no snow or bitter winds to contend with, they're heading back to the hilltops, where there's plenty of heather to eat. Cameras also focus on the Shetland Isles during the winter solstice, and mountain hares in the Cairngorms.
This four-part nature series reveals the extraordinary stories of Scotland’s secret wild places and the unexpected animals that live there. Scotland hosts a spectacular array of wildlife, from highland red deer, white-tailed eagles, red squirrels and pine martens to coastal dwelling puffins, grey seals, otters, and even killer whales. Stretching from the Shetlands to the south of the country, each episode focuses on how animals strive to survive through four very different seasons in one epic year, dominated by a maritime climate that’s both punishing and unpredictable, with their lives always at the mercy of the elements.
