Packed full of information, "Scottish Wild Flowers" is an ideal
guide for both visitors and residents of Scotland who wish to learn
about the fascinating wealth of wild flowers that can be found
there. Each species is illustrated in full colour with a
comprehensive description, plus the plant's English, Latin and
Gaelic names. For ease of use, the plants are grouped together by
the type of habitat in which they can be found, including
Highlands, Lowlands and Coasts. Habitats are arranged from those
most influenced by humans, progressing towards wilder and more
remote areas. The book includes a section with up-to-date details
about places of interest and the best sites for finding some of the
most attractive and special species of wild flowers in Scotland.
