Sunset over the Rannoch Moor, Scotland.

DWP Catalogue No: HC018

Caption: Sunset over the Rannoch Moor, Scotland. The bog of the moor is home to plants such as ling, bog myrtle, arctic bearberry, great sundew, least water lily, and a variety of grasses and sphagnum mosses. The site is particularly famous as the sole British location for the Rannoch-rush, named after the moor. Where shelter is greatest, a scatter of deciduous trees survives, remnants of what would once have been extensive native woodland. The stumps of many trees are preserved in the peat bogs on the moor.
