Feature Stories - Chasing Tail (84) More files... In Pursuit of the Red Squirrel
Cairngorms photographer Neil McIntyre has dedicated 20 years to following the lives of his local red squirrels. His images - the result
of countless hours of watching and waiting - shine a light on one of Britain’s most celebrated mammals. But perhaps more importantly, they help to make the case for a wilder Scotland.
SCOTLAND: The Big Picture is a team of media professionals – photographers, filmmakers, writers and designers - committed to creating media that articulate and amplify the case for a wilder Scotland. Nature Picture Library & SCOTLAND: The Big Picture will be creating a series of high-impact visual communications that fuse ecological science with inspiring storytelling. Our stories will showcase Scotland’s outstanding natural assets, whilst documenting its journey towards ecological restoration
