Highland Wildlife Park

Experience Scottish wildlife past and present in the spectacular setting of the Highland Wildlife Park.

See the amazing variety of animals found in present day Scotland, then step back in time and meet the animals that our ancestors must have known, hundreds, even thousands of years ago. Drive around the Main Reserve in your own car and then investigate the walk-round area by foot.

The Highland Wildlife Park was opened in 1972 and is run by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.
