Descripción

Running for around three kilometres along the coast, Fowlsheugh is part of a wider SPA designated for its number of seabirds. It lies within two SSSIs – the main one, Fowlsheugh SSSI, is a 1.8km length of sheer 30 to 60-metre cliffs, with a narrow strip of clifftop grasslands. The second, a section of the cliff at the southern end, is included within Crawton Bay SSSI.

The largest mainland seabird colony on the east coast of Scotland, this impressive seabird colony contains populations of some of Scotland’s most iconic and favourite birds including Arao Común , Alca Común , Gaviota Tridáctila and a small numbers of Frailecillo Atlántico. Offshore, seals, dolphins and other cetaceans contribute to the unique and stunning nature of Fowlsheugh.
