of being out in the countryside situated on our 'smallholding'.
The house is equipped to a
high standard and set up so that all you have to do after possibly
a long journey is to walk in and relax. The house is next to
a small woodland and has many habitats around so is ideal for
the enthusiastic bird watcher.
In line with Scottish policy, the lodge is non smoking.
Well behaved dogs are welcome, so long as they are not left
unattended in the property. Please advise us at time of
booking.
We should advise you that this
property has its own private water supply.

Wildlife in the area of the house
Sealladh Carrachan is surrounded by many
different habitat types, from marshland, forests to mountains and moorland.
Within a mile of the house one can see a vast array of bird species.
At the Mishnish lochs, one mile South West of Sealladh Carrachan, there are
Little Grebe, Merganzas and a selection of other water fowl. Around the
lochs, sightings of Golden Eagle, White tailed Sea Eagle, Hen Harrier and Short
Eared Owls are not unusual. You may even be able to spot an elusive Merlin
or Peregrine Falcon! Last year, Golden Eagles were nesting less than
two miles away, and our now famous White Tailed Eagles nested on Loch Frisa, a
short drive away.
In the woods and forest a little closer to
home, there are resident Great Spotted Woodpeckers and Treecreepers, as well as
Sparrowhawks and Tawny Owls.
In the rough grassland and scrub, Meadow
Pipits, Whitethroat, Stone Chats and the melodious Skylark are easily picked
out. On the marshland below the main road, an
evening watch and listen, can reward you with the haunting sound of Drumming
Snipe, made by its vibrating tail feathers whilst in display flight.
The loud and continual call of the Grasshopper Warbler can also sometimes be
heard. Sedge Warblers witter away, and the beautiful call of the Curlew
can also be heard. If you are lucky, a Hen Harrier may be seen hunting, or
even the ghostly Barn Owl.
The usual array of garden species can be seen
around the house, including a few slightly more unusual ones, like the Spotted
Flycatcher, flitting back and forth from a perch to catch insects.
Goldcrests and Siskins, as well as Whitethroat and Woodcock are common too.
Buzzards are common too, as are
Ravens and gull species, regularly seen overhead as well as the occasional Great Skua - an
unexpected sight indeed!
The Winter months bring Redwing and
Fieldfare, as well as the occasional exotic-looking Waxwing. In Winter,
geese swans and other wildfowl visit the Mishnish Lochs.
