Are there any dangerous animals or creepy crawlies in Scotland?
A. Not really. There are wild cats in the northern Highlands but these are very rare and very rarely seen. These are slightly larger than a domestic cat. You may also see foxes or more rarely badgers but these will keep well out of your way and are nothing to worry about. There is only one poisonous snake, the Adder which can be found up in the hills. It wants to meet you even less than you want to meet it, so, it’s liable to be well out of the way by the time you blunder along. If you should encounter one don’t try to stroke it!
