Wildlife

Common Seals are very numerous around Arisaig and are one of the highlights of the area. They can be seen at the Arisaig Skerries where they have their pups in the early summer. Care has to be taken not to disturb the seals.

Otters also live in the area but are much harder to spot. However we do sometimes see them on trips.

Porpoises can be seen around Arisaig.

White Tailed Eagles can be seen in the Sound of Arisaig.
