Assynt: Stoer, Lochinver & Inchnadamph

Places of Interest

The geology of the North West Highlands provides the right conditions for certain rare pants to thrive. Limestone encourages the growth of mountain avens and globe flower, while peatland areas such as the classic ‘cnoc and lochan’ landscapes found around Eddrachilles support sphagnum mosses, sundew, cloudberry and bogbean. A local Highland Council Countryside Ranger can direct you to specific sites.
