It was a very pleasent day and once again no rain here in the Southern Highlands. There was a refreshing and welcome strong Westerly on the tops today. I was in the Cam Chreag area of the Tarmachans and looking at the wonderful array of Alpine flowers on the crags and gullies. Amongst the multitude of plants and flowers were: Common Rock Rose, Rose Root, Moss Campion, Starry Saxifrage, Mossy Saxifrage, Cloudberry, Mountain Sorrel and Wood Sorrel. Of particular interest and not at all common is Rock Cress and Alpine Mouse ear. The summit block on Meall garbh is cloaked in moss campion and rock cress.
All this Alpine stuff leads nicely into saying farewell to The Scottish Mountains for a couple of months as I am working in The Alps untill Mid September.
