Escaped monkey found in Scottish Highlands

Escaped monkey found in Scottish Highlands

 

Now here’s something you don’t hear every day. A missing monkey that escaped from a Scottish wildlife park and was on the run for a week has now been found.

A frantic search for the Japanese macaque, named Honshu, was launched in early Feb. The primate broke loose from the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie and the alarm was raised when he was spotted in a nearby village.

 

Now we assume you won’t spot any monkeys on our 6-day West Highland Way pack-free guided walk but the views you will see will be just as amazing!

Spectacular landscapes of the Scottish Highlands’ towering mountains, open moorlands and stunning lochs make this walk a must-do walking experience.
