Baby Pine Martin Found Orphaned In The Highlands

The Scottish SPCA is caring for an adorable pine marten found orphaned in the Highlands.

The 8 week old male kit was discovered at an industrial site in Nigg.

The pine marten is now being looked after at our National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fishcross, where he has been named Caillen.

Centre manager Colin Seddon said, "Caillen is doing well and is already self-feeding.

“We are hopeful he will be back in his natural habitat by the end of summer once he is fully developed and able to fend for himself.

“Caillen will be released in an area of low pine marten density to strengthen the existing population and encourage growth.”
