The property is a nature lover’s dream. The current owners have already amassed an impressive 131 species of birds seen in, or from, the property. Killer Whales (Orca), Risso’s Dolphins and Minke Whales are all seen regularly in the waters between Lochside and The Pentland Skerries and otters are regularly observed in the loch. The storm beaches of Burwick, where the Atlantic Grey seals have their pups and Puffins nest on the cliffs above, are a brisk stroll away from the house. This diverse and fascinating wildlife and breath-taking seascapes are all literally on the doorstep.
