The red deer is Scotland’s largest deer. Males have large, branching antlers, increasing in size as they get older. These impressive antlers can measure up to one metre in breadth and weigh as much as 15kg. Red deer are dark russet-brown in colour, with a paler buff rump patch and a pale tail. Look out for herds of large, sturdy deer with branching antlers.

Behaviour

During the autumnal breeding season, known as the ‘rut’, males bellow to proclaim their territory and will fight over the females, sometimes injuring each other with their sharp antlers. Red deer live on moorland and mountainsides, as well as grasslands near to woodland. They can be seen in deer parks throughout the country.

#6 Red deer came to Scottish islands from unexpected places,More info:sciencemag

Stone Age seafarers may have transported red deer to far-flung Scottish islands from remote sites in Europe rather than from the Scottish mainland nearby, a new study suggests. Although researchers have long suspected the creatures had been brought to the remote isles by humans to provide a steady supply of food, antlers, or skins, the notion they originated in distant lands and were carried there in a sort of Neolithic ark is a surprising twist.
