Grantown on Spey and Lochindorb
Moorland around Lochindorb, Speyside, taken by David Palmar. Muirburn is a management practice in which patches of moorland are burned in rotation, leaving long heather for Red Grouse to nest in and encouraging the growth of short grass for grouse to eat. It is a controversial practice, because it realises carbon into the atmosphere.

Glenshee - Scenery and Mountain hares in winter
Muir burn, seen from Glenshee. The heather is delberately set alight in winter, to create a patchwork of different ages of heather, so that Red grouse can have areas of long heather to nest in, and also areas of short heather to eat. This practice is now seen by many as doubtful, as it reduces the vegetation on the hills, which drain more quickly and flooding downstream is the result. It also dmages peat, promoting the release of carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas.
