Eagles

I suspect that this kind of story will do more for Scottish tourism than many of the initiatives of VisitScotland (or the Scottish Tourist Board as it used to be known before the fad for re-naming everything undermined the traditional public sector infrastructure).

"They are wheeling high above their nest in a snapped-off Sitka spruce, the two white-tailed sea eagles, and they are immense. One drifts lower towards the nest, lazily, dreamily. Then with a dip of its shoulder the other is dropping faster towards it with talons extended like an aircraft's landing gear."
