Roxy the Golden Eagle children's book
Written by John Miles with illustrations by John Davis, Roxy the Golden Eagle is a beautifully written children’s story based on the famous Roxy, a real golden eagle from the Scottish Borders.
Suitable for younger children and a wonderful book to be shared amongst families, Roxy tells the story of a golden eagle from a chick in the nest to an adult soaring the skies above the south of Scotland. Learn of the challenges these eagles face, their habits and habitats and how the powerful symbol of the golden eagle features across the world. You can check out more of John’s nature books for children on his website - Chick Books | Reconnecting Children With Nature.

Update on south Scotland golden eagle Speckled Jim
We’ve been monitoring the progress of the eight golden eagle juveniles that we released earlier in the summer. They are all settling into their new home and beginning to fend for themselves.
It has been a hugely successful year for the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project. After 8 eagles were successfully released at the end of the summer, we now have 12 translocated eagles thriving in southern skies. This year also saw the launch of our permanent exhibition, The Eyrie at Philiphaugh Estate near Selkirk and we held the first ever Eagle Town Festival in Moffat. However, the work doesn’t stop there, 2022 will bring further translocations and many more opportunities to engage people and communities across the south of Scotland with this ground-breaking project and iconic bird.
