Scottish wildlife
Caledonian native creatures
The animals, birds, and other fauna native to or commonly found in Scotland.
Red deer, golden eagles, red squirrels, and Atlantic puffins are iconic examples.
The term often appears in tourism and conservation contexts: We took a Scottish wildlife tour of the Highlands.
Scotland's lochs, moors, and islands support distinctive ecosystems that draw naturalists and visitors.
