Birding Ecosse

Birding Ecosse is a small Scottish operator led by guide Dave Slater, offering tailor-made guided birding holidays, short breaks, and day trips throughout the Scottish Highlands and the Moray and Nairn coasts. A member of Wild Scotland, the outfit caps groups at four clients to keep tours personal and avoid the bottlenecks of larger minibus-based birding companies. Slater's programmes include all-inclusive multi-day holidays with hand-picked hotels and guest houses, plus day excursions targeting iconic Highland species such as Crested Tit, Scottish Crossbill, Capercaillie, breeding Osprey, and Moray Firth seabirds. Tour bookings are currently scheduled through 2027.
