Last week we stayed at a holiday cottage on the Leckmelm estate just outside Ullapool, in the Scottish Higlands.  One evening as I was descending the stairs in the cottage I spotted a deer grazing just outside the cottage, through the glass at the top of the front door.

We saw many deer during our week in the Highlands. unfortunately several of them dead by the road side.  It is one of the hazards of driving in the Highlands.  We did have deer cross the road in front of us but it was a single track road so we’d time to slow down.  We watched a couple of deer grazing in a field below one of the walks from the cottage. There were aware that we were close and would look up regularly to check on us.
