Our Rewilding Projects

Highlands Rewilding currently manages three rewilding projects in the Highlands of Scotland.

  • Bunloit rewilding project

    Bunloit Estate

    Bunloit Estate sits on the western shores of Loch Ness in Inverness-shire. This 513 hectare highlands site contains a mosaic of habitats from native woodland to peatland, pastures and plantations, and is on a rewilding journey to becoming a biodiverse carbon sink.

  • Beldorney rewilding project

    Beldorney Estate

    Beldorney is a 349-hectare grassland-dominated estate, situated in Aberdeenshire. The contrast of land from Bunloit’s mosaic of habitats gives us the opportunity to implement lessons learned on Bunloit to this second site, rewilding the land from the ground up.

  • Tayvallich Estate

    Tayvallich Estate is situated on the Tayvallich peninsula in mid-Argyll and forms part of the stunning Knapdale National Scenic Area. The spectacular 1370 hectare site conteins a mosaic of habitats ranging from coastal, marine, wetlands and salt marsh through to ancient native woodlands and species-rich grasslands.

If you would like to bring your team to visit our rewilding projects and gain insight into the emerging natural capital economy, you can explore our many different options on our retreats page.

If you have a smaller group or are looking for a self-catered holiday cottage, head over to our cottage stays page.

Health and Safety Notice

Deer management occurs across the estates. If you are planning to visit Bunloit or Beldorney or Tayvallich, please get in touch via info@highlandsrewilding.co.uk before your visit to coordinate stalking times and locations.

This is for your safety. For more information, please read our wildlife management policy.
