Description

Argaty is a working upland livestock farm where they run the award-winning Argaty Red Kite project. This is Central Scotland's only Красный коршун feeding station where you can watch the acrobatic birds from a purpose built hide. The farm is open daily with a Ranger-led visit to the hide at feeding time in the afternoon. The Красный коршун is most abundant through the winter months (October - March) when they form large social groups.
