Try exploring wildlife spots

The Scottish Wildlife Trust is encouraging locals to explore the secret wildlife spots and rare habitats in Edinburgh as part of the UK's largest cross charity campaign, Remember A Charity Week.

Running until Friday, September 19, Remember A Charity Week sees over 140 charities from around the country join to highlight the importance of gifts left to charities in wills. Charitable donations in wills are the foundation of many of Britain's charities, creating nearly 2 billion each year.

The Scottish Wildlife Trust's Edinburgh Reserve Manager, Julian Warman, said: "Remember A Charity Week is a great opportunity for us to encourage people to get out and explore the amazing wildlife which can often be found not far from their doorsteps. This is certainly true in Edinburgh."
