Kingairloch is home to an incredible variety of smaller wildlife too 🦋✨

Throughout the summer, butterflies and moths can be spotted among the wildflowers, grasses and woodland, while dragonflies dart across the estate’s lochs and wetter areas. From the colourful flashes of wings in the sunshine to the quieter creatures hiding amongst the vegetation, there is always something to look out for.

Our varied landscape provides a wonderful habitat for so many species, making every walk around Kingairloch an opportunity to discover something new. 🌿🦋

There’s more than one way to enjoy the hills at Kingairloch. ⛰️

For some, it’s the challenge of a long day on the hill, reaching a summit and taking in the views from above. For others, it’s a gentle walk through the glens, a quiet morning with the dogs, or simply finding a spot to sit and take it all in.

You can explore on foot, head out stalking, spend time photographing the wildlife and changing seasons, or follow the paths at your own pace with nowhere else to be.

However you choose to experience them, the hills are always changing — and there’s always another reason to head out. 🌿🏔️

✨ Discover Castle Tioram with Kingairloch as your base 🏰✨

Just a short drive from Kingairloch lie the atmospheric ruins of Castle Tioram, standing on the tidal island of Eilean Tioram where the River Shiel meets Loch Moidart. The castle has a long and fascinating history, all set against a spectacular backdrop of woodland, hills and sea.

The castle makes a wonderful stop as part of a day exploring the surrounding area. Take a stroll along the shores of Loch Moidart, explore Dorlin and its sandy beach, or follow the Silver Walk for beautiful coastal views and the chance to spot some of the local wildlife. Keep an eye out for otters, coastal birds and birds of prey along the way.

It’s the kind of place that captures what makes this corner of the West Highlands so special — ancient history, wild landscapes and plenty of space to simply slow down and enjoy the scenery.

A perfect addition to a day exploring beyond Kingairloch. 🏰🌿🌊

August in the Walled Garden 🌿

The garden is looking its best this month, with flowers in bloom, vegetables flourishing and plenty of colour filling the beds. A peaceful corner of Kingairloch, tucked away behind the walls and surrounded by the landscape of the West Highlands.

Tucked away amongst the trees at Kingairloch, these little waterfalls are one of the many beautiful features of the estate. 🌿

The sound of the water running over the rocks, surrounded by woodland and the peaceful Highland landscape, makes it a lovely spot to pause and enjoy the scenery. A reminder that there is always something new to discover around Kingairloch. ✨
