Beschrijving

Troup Head is a grandiose, little frequented site. The high cliffs provide a spectacular setting for Scotland's largest mainland Jan-van-gent colony. There are also thousands of Drieteenmeeuw, Zeekoet and Alk here, along with Noordse Stormvogel and several other species. In addition to having a beautiful panorama, you have an incredible view of the Jan-van-gent! A place out of time, be careful to keep your distance so as not to disturb the birds.
