Our local expert John has been a wildlife enthusiast for over 40 years and a professional caddie at Turnberry for over 30 of those, so there can be few, if indeed anyone, who is better placed to advise on the wildlife to be found in this beautiful area of Scotland.
Not only does Turnberry boast of the finest and most scenicly spectacular golf course in the world, but also sports a vast array of fauna and flora, some of which we will display on this site. We will be updating it regularly as new material becomes available.

| On 2009-08-10 12:12:22 Angela asked: cool pics! so could you tell me why do they look out of focus on the main page? when they look ok after clicking the read more link A John Answered: Hi A, thats just because the images were resampled to a size of 100 x 100 pixels to keep the file sizes small, they are displayed at 150 x 150 pixels on the main page, stretching the thumbnail, but the larger images on the read more page are all 920 pixels wide which is the size they're displayed at so there is no distortion. Thanks for your interest. |
