Rothiemurchus has a long history of working to conserve the Osprey population. John Peter, 14th Laird, was awarded the Zoological Society of London’s silver medal in 1893 (designed by Landseer), for attempting to secure the Osprey population on Rothiemurchus and grandson, Colonel Grant received the RSPB silver medal in 1960 for his work in helping the Ospreys re-colonise Speyside. The Grants continue their conservation and environmental work today.
