MOUNTAIN OF PANSIES





Another superb sunny and very warm day here in The Highlands. A nice breeze too so not a midge in sight. Peter and I went up the South ridge of Carn Gorm in Glen Lyon. The highlight of the walk was the amazing amount of mountain pansies from about 450m right up to 850m. There were also carpets of Moss Campion all over the hillside. We saw no one all day as this is not a Munro baggers usual route. Other flowers and plants of note were heath spotted orchid, cyphal, mountain everlasting, yellow saxifrage and thyme
