This summer I led two tours for Naturetrek to the Ardnamuchan Peninsular in the Highlands of Scotland. It is a remote and beautiful place with a variety of landscapes and habitats. It is perhaps the last place where genetically pure Scottish Wildcats can be found (though more study is required to establish this). If you're interested, Naturetrek are running two more tours next August!
Ardnamurchan is a great place to look for mammals and the list from this year's tours is impressive:
