Did you know that, in Highland folklore, deer were sometimes known as ‘fairy cattle’? 🦌✨

Highland folklore tells of fairies keeping herds of deer among the hills, with some tales even describing supernatural beings who could take the form of a deer.

Red deer can be spotted along the North Coast 500, so keep your eyes peeled as you explore! 👀

❗️Please explore responsibly. For some, this is an adventure; for others, it’s home. Respect the land, the wildlife and the communities who live here. Always keep a safe and respectful distance from wildlife. Never approach, feed or disturb animals. ❗️
