The highlands of Wester Ross are well known for the rough and isolated heath land covering the alternating peaty, rocky ridges and tops of the Mountains.
The combination of pinewoods, native birch and oakwoods give high botanical interest to this region.
The stunning scenery is dominated by the peak of Slioch, 981 m above sea level.
From early spring until October you can find many species of wild flowers. In March and April there is an abundance of lesser celandine, snowdrops and white and yellow daffodils around the houses and in the banks.
In May the delicate yellow primroses, bluebells, wild strawberries and yellow pimpernel are colouring the lower parts of the slopes, the riverbanks and the deciduous woodlands.

One can also find the wood anemone and wood sorrel with their white flowers. In summertime there is a dense vegetation of fern. Bracken grows five feet high, but in spring the stems reach only two feet, exhibiting the miraculous forms of young leaves at their tops. With their fragrant, yellow, starry flowers the asphodels lay a golden glow over the moorlands, turning into dark orange as they mature, showing a richness of orange spiky fruits in autumn. During every season all kinds of small flowers may be discovered between the heath bushes and in the moors. Among many others: cat's-foot (so named because of the woolly bracts), lousewort, tormentil, common butterwort and common milkwort.
