Visitor centre protects red kites in the Scottish Highlands Red kites were once persecuted and dwindling
in numbers. Once, these birds were so rare they were only found in Central Wales. Thanks to conservation efforts, red kites are seen across many parts of the UK. Scotland was a once former home of red kites, where the species has recently recovered in numbers. Argaty Red Kites in the District of Stirling is a visitor and conservation centre helping to revive numbers in the region.
