I have photos & video but no idea how to upload them from my Google account. They seemed quite tame and allowed us to about 10 metres before wandering away. Anyone else seen these?
There is an introduced herd in the Cairngorm area, effectively semi-domesticated like sheep. See here;

Here's a random reindeer photo (from Sweden not Cairngorm, but it looks a bit like Rothiemurchus!)
