The one and only time I have ever seen one was when fishing the Forth at Buchlyvie. I think a pair were nesting in one of the old barns. Beautiful birds.
Don't worry, be happy.

Carried it in full, then carry it out empty.

I've seen four in total, all in the kelvin valley between twechar and banknock. This is the first time ive seen one in summer though, its a shame there so rare.

I saw one out near Strathblane a few weeks ago.
When fishing the Lanarkshire Avon at dusk i always see one at the same spot,you could set your watch by it.

Funny how the worlds changed (for the better). I lived the first 25 years of my life in glasgow and the first buzzard I ever saw was at loch awe when I was 18!! Now they're everywhere.

Angus is a good place for Owls,Shorteared on the hills , Tawny and Longeared in the woods and quite a few Barn Owls scattered about.This time of year is a good time to see them as they are hunting more to feed their chicks.Barn Owls are are often seen near to Rescobie Loch on the Montrose to Forfar road if that's any help.

I saw a pair of barn owls at Moor of Rannoch hotel last year, made some racket until the spotted me and flew away, rather fast.
