Wildcat Experience/Wildcat Trail/Newtonmore Woodland Trust

The Wildcat Experience. Hunt for 132 painted Wildcat models hidden around Newtonmore in the Cairngorm National Park, at the heart of the HIGHLANDS. Great for children and adults to share and enjoy.

A treasure hunt with a difference! More than 130 life-size, painted, models of the Scottish Wildcat hide round the village of Newtonmore in the Cairngorms National Park. All the cats are painted in different colours and have characters such as Paws for Thought, Cat-a-ract, White Hot Cat on a Tin Roof. They are tucked away in people's gardens, behind hedges, on roofs. There's even one who goes 'surfing' in the summer. . . . What YOU have to do is see how many you can track down. Certificates and small prizes are awarded. Children love it - and adults have been known to become addicted. . . . Your Wildcat Experience Trackpack will bring you hours and hours of fun. Come and join the wildcat hunt!
