Night Vision: Exploring the Secrets of Craig Phadrig’s Woodland Nightlife
Join local guide Will Hall for an unforgettable evening of discovery at Craig Phadrig, just outside Inverness. This unique event combines natural navigation, nocturnal wildlife exploration, and historical insights, offering a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of the Highlands.
Taking place on 24th January 2025, from 19:00 to 21:00, this guided walk invites participants to uncover the mysteries of the night in Craig Phadrig’s enchanting woodland. Known for its ancient Pictish hillfort, this area provides the perfect backdrop for a night-time adventure that’s equal parts educational and immersive.
The evening begins with an introduction to natural navigation, where you’ll learn to use stars, mosses, and plants to find your way in the dark. Will, a seasoned wildlife guide, will share his expertise in tracking and observing nocturnal animals, including owls, pine martens, and other creatures that thrive in the darkness. With the help of a thermal scope, participants will have the opportunity to spot wildlife that’s hidden from the naked eye.
As the walk continues, you’ll explore the phenomenon of bioluminescence using UV torches, uncovering glowing secrets of the forest floor. The event also includes a brief dive into the history of Craig Phadrig, revealing its fascinating Pictish past and the stories hidden within its landscape.
This fully outdoor event is suitable for all experience levels and is perfect for nature lovers, history buffs, or anyone seeking a unique way to connect with the natural world. Participants are advised to dress warmly, bring a head torch, binoculars, sturdy footwear, and perhaps a hot drink to keep comfortable in the winter night air.
