Tour Scotland travel video of a curious Red Deer on Boxing Day visit to Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands. The Scottish red deer, Cervus elaphus scoticus, is a subspecies of red deer, which is native to Great Britain. Like the red deer of Ireland, it migrated from continental Europe sometime in the Stone age.. This deer is slightly smaller than other Western European red deer. In summer, the coat is lighter in colour with a distinct border to the lighter patch on the rump. The rest of the colour is dark reddish brown with a greyer face and neck. The legs are blackish brown. In winter the animal grows long hair on the neck. The brow and the bez tines of the antler are usually close together and at a distance above the burr. This deer thrives in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and in parts of England such as Westmorland, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire and the New Forest. It is also found in County Kerry and Donegal in Ireland. Although mostly found in the north of Scotland, there are deer in Highland Perthshire and reports of deer being spotted in the Borders.
