Yesnaby, where small is beautiful

the tiny primula scotica flower on the maritime heath Yesnaby

The Scottish primrose: listed on the Government’s Scottish Biodiversity List and is classified as being ‘nationally scarce’. Only found in the wild in Caithness, Sutherland and Orkney.

Plants growing wherever they can find a space.

A freshwater burn is another location to thrive.

And its not just flowering plants which are growing.

PLEASE, do not pick or dig up the wild plants. They look lovely just where they are. And you may also be interested in this:
