The mountains and moorlands of Scotland are home to important plant communities. Each is characteristic of a particular habitat and a key combination of species and tells its own story, of history and environment. While many are disturbed by man and his animals, some are as near to being natural as any in Europe. This course provides an opportunity to visit some of the finest botanical sites in Britain with the added bonus of being amongst the lochs and mountains of Perthshire in mid-summer. Some familiarity with our native plants would be an asset. Daytime excursions will be supplemented with a series of illustrated evening lectures and a printed manual. A modest level of fitness is required, sufficient to climb a mountain but only at a steady 'botanical' rate. Further details are available on request, either from Kindrogan or via the links at 'enquiringmind.org'.
