Machair

Scotland's Machair has a fairy-tale esque quality. The wild flowers which grow on the grassy plains near the beaches,produce a carpet of colours in the summer,from orchids to harebells to red clover.The Great Yellow Bumblebee,a rare species can also be found busying itself amongst the flowers in the Summer months. Machair is a rare habitat,which thrives only in Western Scotland and parts of Ireland,making it a native treasure of the British isles which should be cherished and preserved.
