Ranger’s blog – Destroying Angel

Ranger's blog - This image is the logo of the High Life Highland Countryside Ranger Service. It is all in black and white and consists of two concentric circles. The inner circle has a graphic depicting three people with mountains in the background. The space between the two circles contains the words High Life Highland Countryside Rangers.

The High Life Highland Countryside Rangers regularly post blogs on their own website and Facebook page.

Andy Summers, the Senior Ranger for North Highlands is also the local Countryside Ranger for Assynt. He is also the Field Club’s immediate past Chairman.

As Andy’s blogs typically concern some aspect of Assynt’s wildlife or associated activities we will be posting copies of these on our website. This will in part be looked upon as a way to archive Andy’s Assynt writings.

The Field Club has obtained the appropriate permissions from the Ranger Service.
