Moffat Golden Eagle Festival 2023

The Moffat 2023 Golden Eagle Festival returns to Scotland's First and Only 'Eagle Town' this September with a fantastic line-up of guest speakers, guided walks, activities, food & drink and live music to celebrate the increasing Golden Eagle population in the South of Scotland. Celebrate the success of this pioneering conservation project at this year's festival as the team reveals new record number of golden eagles in the South of Scotland.

This year the festival's keynote speaker is star of BBC Springwatch Iolo Williams. He said: “It is absolutely fantastic to hear that the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project has once again successfully transported so many golden eagles to the area. The work of this outstanding project is playing a vital role in boosting the small golden eagle population in the south of the country. It is brilliant to think that there is an even greater chance of seeing this iconic predator, which is so important to maintaining a healthy ecosystem, soaring in southern skies. I can’t wait to attend the Moffat Eagle Festival in September, and hopefully quietly spot some of the golden eagles when I’m there.
