Vaccinating badgers

Tairneilear, Scotland

A site on the Isle of Skye. The original survey documents provide little information on why it was proposed to the Society, but, today, the site falls within a large Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) called Cuillins. A mix of upland bog, woodland, fen, rock and heath habitats, it is home to an important population of breeding golden eagles; as a result, it has been designated a Special Protection Area (SPA; European designation).
