Nethybridge and Dulnain Bridge
Chickweed Wintergreen (Trientalis europaea), best seen in June and July. Also known as the Arctic Starflower, it grows in woodlands in the north of England and Scotland. Its common name is misleading - it is neither a chickweed nor a wintergreen, but a member of the primrose family. Here is is growing in Curr Woods, near Dulnain Bridge in Speyside.
