Wildlife

Cuthill House

The farm is rich in wildlife, including Roe deer, duck, geese, Wild swans, pheasants, woodcock & snipe. Cuthill Sands in front of the farm is home to 10s of thousands of wildfowl over the winter and the farm has both a productive flight pond and good goose flighting on the arable fields.

There is a large rabbit warren on the links, which is an SSSI for being a rare area of sand dunes covered in heather and lichen.

The River Evelix is an established salmon river and the ladder at the mouth of Loch Evelix (on Skibo) has recently been repaired, significantly easing the run of fish. The current owner has improved the 5 or 6 pools on the ½ mile of river, but has hardly fished at all, with 1 fish caught in 2007. However, the beat above Cuthill caught 10 fish in 2007 and reported that in August & September fish ran on most tides, when there was sufficient water.
