Snake spotting in Scotland!

Many would think that with Scotland’s ‘changeable climate’ wild snakes wouldn’t be able to survive, but that’s not the case.

The Adder is Scotland’s only venomous reptile and today I took a small group to a secret Highland Glen in search of these shy creatures! Whilst venomous and potentially deadly Adders are very timid and unlikely to bite unless threatened. They are protected and should never be handled!
