The Scottish and European Wildlife Collection at Palacerigg
is unique in Central Scotland providing a rare opportunity to see
not only the
Scottish wildcat and
pine marten, but also wolves,
lynx,
artic fox and European bison.
| Every effort is taken to maintain individual
species in a manner that will promote nature behaviour. Palacerigg
recognises the importance of a local and global approach to breeding
endangered animals - the
przewalski horses are registered as part of an international
breeding programme.
Palacerigg also houses an extensive collection of owls -
ranging from the little owl at only 20cm tall to the impressive
eagle owl at 70cm. |

Herds of ancient
white park cattle once roamed wild in the forests of Lord Fleming's
Cumbernauld estates, providing hunting for the kings and nobility
of Scotland. Nowadays, they are maintained as a rare breed.
