Winter Talk: 50 years – a blip in time for Scotland’s Sea Eagles with Dr Alison Maclennan
Friday 9th January, 7pm

Over the past fifty years, the focus of our attention on sea eagles has been on re-establishing this species in their former UK range, so much so, that we have often overlooked their long history of occupation of these islands. Dr Alison MacLennan, Senior Conservation Officer with the RSPB will introduce a short documentary film, providing context and updates on how the sea eagle population is fairing in the west Highlands. To book please either visit Ticket Source or contact the Museum on 01445 712 287.
