Wildlife at Whiteash Moray Forests
Moray
Scotland
Fochabers is the nearest town or village.
 Whiteash has been a managed woodland for many decades and in some areas has an almost native atmosphere. The steep sided gully which includes the narrow 'Winding Walks' paths is part of the old estate owned by the Duke of Gordon and Richmond. Whether you take in the delightful view from the gazebo at 'The Peeps' viewpoint, visit Longbowe Loch or the Duchess of Richmond Monument you cannot help but capture the spirit of the past in this woodland.
Mammals: There's always a chance of seeing roe deer, especially near dawn and dusk. On a late summer's evening, look out for bats fluttering above the pond beside the car park or at the old curling pond on the Green trail. We have information about Roe deer
Birds: Whiteash Wood is one of the few remaining areas in the north east where a population of Capercaillie still exists. Ospreys have successfully nested in this wood for over 25 years. The adults are frequently seen fishing for salmon at the mouth of the River Spey at Spey Bay. We have information about Capercaille and Osprey
