    Scotland’s National Nature Reserves For more information about Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve please contact: Scottish Natural Heritage, Creag Meagaidh NNR, Aberarder, Kinlochlaggan, Newtonmore, Inverness-shire, PH20 1BX Telephone/Fax: 01528 544 265 Email: [email protected] The Story of Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve The Story of Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve Foreword Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve (NNR), named after the great whalebacked ridge which dominates the Reserve, is one of the most diverse and important upland sites in Scotland. Creag Meagaidh is a complex massif, with numerous mountain tops and an extensive high summit plateau edged by a dramatic series of ice-carved corries and gullies. The Reserve extends from the highest of the mountain tops to the shores of Loch Laggan. The plateau is carpeted in moss-heath and is an important breeding ground for dotterel. The corries support unusual artic- alpine plants and the lower slopes have scattered patches of ancient woodland dominated by birch. Located 45 kilometres (km) northeast of Fort William and covering nearly 4,000 hectares (ha), the Reserve is owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Creag Meagaidh has been a NNR since 1986 and during the last twenty years SNH has worked to restore natural habitats, particularly woodland, on the Reserve. Like much of the Highlands, the vegetation has been heavily grazed for centuries, so it was decided to reduce the number of grazing animals by removing sheep and culling red deer. The aim was not to eliminate grazing animals altogether, but to keep numbers at a level that allowed the habitats, especially the woodland, to recover.

  • 08 Ben More, Mull Wild Land Area
    Description of Wild Land Area – 2015 08 Ben More, Mull Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2015 Context This relatively small WLA (area of 87 km2), one of 11 island WLAs, is located in the mountainous heart of the Inner Hebridean Isle of Mull. Elongated in shape, the WLA stretches east and west of the distinctive peak of Ben More, the only island Munro outwith those found on Skye. Unusually for an island WLA it is not defined by the coast, although the sea strongly influences the qualities of the area with the 12km long north-west boundary less than 1km from the sea. To the east of Ben More the mountain range continues as large areas of scree and exposed rock that have been carved out of the roots of a huge volcano to form a variable landscape punctuated by the conical peak of Beinn Talaidh. This marks the eastern extent of the WLA before coniferous forestry wraps around the base of the hill. To the west of Ben More is an arc of hills that envelop and provide a sense of enclosure for the wide, concave watershed of the grassy slopes of Gleann Doire Dhubhaig. The WLAs edges are marked by narrow single track roads and tracks on all sides. The inland loch of Loch Ba and Glen Cannel mark the eastern half of the northern boundary and provide gentler slopes interspersed with some native woodland cover only separated from the WLA itself by the estate track. The sea loch of Loch na Keal lies along the western half of the northern boundary.
