Wild Flowers and ButterfliesMuch of the Allt na Coire burn is specially protected and fenced to prevent overgrazing by livestock. As a result it is home to a rich succession of wild flowers during the summer months.
Early in the season Mimulus and Marsh Marigold line the banks as Sedge Warbler feed their chicks and Orange Tip butterfly flit from flower to flower. As midsummer approaches, Ragged Robin and a selection of Orchids replace earlier flowerers and large clumps of Meadowsweet line the burn. Stitchworts, Vetches and Bedstraws now sprawl amongst the long grass of the old water meadows where Small Heath and Red Admiral drink from Buttercup and Thistle.
Higher up the glen on poorer soils Butterwort and Marsh Lousewort eke out a living where Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary are sometimes seen.
Come and experience the sights and scents of high summer in this secluded highland glen.
