Land & nature
Dalmigavie lies at an altitude of 1200ft in the Monadhliath Mountains, 350,000 acres of wild remote hills. Much of the land is heather moorland over deep peat, an internationally rare ecosystem.
This landscape is sliced by deep glacial river valleys, such as the beautiful River Findhorn. There is an abundance animals and birds, though most of them are very shy and hard to spot. All of them have adapted to live in this special Highland Scottish habitat.
Woodland
We plan to increase native woodland across the estate through strategic fencing and management of grazing pressure on the land. By reducing grazing pressure, vegetation can recover and trees can regenerate.
Similarly, predators such as foxes and crows are controlled so that ground nesting birds, many of which are rare ‘red-listed’ species, can thrive and breed.
Peat restoration
The estate has large amounts of deep peat that is in the process of being restored to improve the capture and storage of atmospheric carbon and to provide habitat for the many rare species of flora and fauna found in this unique landscape.
