Glen Torridon
Bell Heather (Erica cinerea) with its mass of purple flowers in June, Glen Torridon. Most often found on heathlands, Bell Heather is a good source of nectar for a range of invertebrates. Man-made heather moorlands in Scotland are however the source of much controversy. Some conservation groups would like to see them 'rewilded' meaning they could return to a more natural state, which could support a wider range of species.
