Newtonmore Wildflowers
Hi. Thanks for looking at the blog. I am not a botanist by profession, it is just an absorbing hobby. Newtonmore is a small village in the Scottish Highlands where there is a wealth of different plants. I wanted to share some of the flowers that you can find here just a short distance from the village along well marked paths. As well as flowers, I am interested in all sorts of wildlife and especially lichens.
