CITATION BEN LUI SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Argyll and Bute, Stirling Site code: 188 PLANNING AUTHORITY: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority Argyll and Bute Council NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NN 260268 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 50, 56 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 364, 377 AREA: 2928.26 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Geological: Structural and metamorphic geology: Dalradian Mineralogy: Mineralogy of Scotland Biological: Upland habitats: Upland assemblage Vascular plants: Vascular plant assemblage Invertebrates: Invertebrate assemblage DESCRIPTION Ben Lui Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is an extensive site situated in the Southern Highlands at the head of Glen Fyne. The SSSI contains four high peaks, with Ben Lui, at 1,130 m, the best known mountain within this western outlier of the Breadalbane Hills. Together with Ben Oss (1,028 m), Beinn Dubhchraig (978 m), Beinn a’ Chleibh (917 m) and Meall nan Tighearn (739 m) the area is renowned for its exceptionally rich and varied upland flora. The range of altitude and geology present at the site supports a diversity of habitats including important late snowbed communities on peaks and high corries, ledge and cliff vegetation, heath, montane willow scrub, grasslands, soligenous mires and on, the southern flanks of Meall nan Tighearn, an extensive blanket bog. The Dalradian rocks underpinning the biodiversity of the site are of mineralogical importance for three reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few sites in within the Dalradian where proximal-style exhalative sulphide mineralisation can be readily demonstrated. Secondly, it is the only site where a feeder zone for stratabound mineralisation has been positively identified.

The Cairngorm Club Journal 024, 1905
EARL'S SEAT. BY REV. A. GORDON MITCHELL. ON 9th August, accompanied by Rev. Mr. Scrymgeour, of the Presbyterian Church, Jersey, I set out for Earl's Seat, the highest of the Campsie Fells (1894). The morning was bright and promising, the air sharp and exhilarating; and although the sky was by no means cloudless, the country was flooded with almost uninterrupted sunshine. Proceeding for some hundred yards or so along that por- tion of the Balfron road now known locally as the King's Mile from the fact that our gracious King, when Prince of "Wales, drove backwards and forwards there for some time admiring the view of Loch Lomond and the heights that form the sky-line beyond it, we left the high road and struck across country to the south. The first part of the walk was easy, being over hay stubble and grass. We paused a moment to admire the floral symbol of our native land as abundantly represented in one of the fields through which we passed. Its " bush of spears ", its purple crown of such exquisite softness and beauty, its capacity for dis- seminating its species over the earth by means of its flying " down " mark it out as a singularly appropriate emblem of a country noted for the valour of its men, the beauty of its women, and the ubiquity of its children. It was no doubt bad farming, but true patriotic sentiment, that made Robert Burns turn "the weeder-clips aside and spare " the emblem dear ". Safely escaping from " barbed wire entanglement", we came upon a group of Scots fir, the grass being dotted with a few flowers of the scabious and Theragged Cairngormrobin species.

Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire
Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire D.B. Taylor Abertay Historical Society Publication No.29 Dundee 1990 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many of those who began the groundwork of this investigation were or became members of the Abertay Historical Society, the Perthshire Society for Natural Science, the then Breadalbane Archaeological Society or the Crieff Society. They are too many to be mentioned individually but their contribution was invaluable and is gladly acknowledged. There are others whose names are unavoidably unknown to the author; they were mainly those who took photographs and drew plans at Queen's View. Apologies and sincere thanks are extended to them. Those who contributed from their specialist knowledge have been mentioned in the text and are also sincerely thanked. Grants towards expenses were received from the Society of Antiquaries, Scotland, for Litigan and from the Forestry Commission for Queen's View. These are gratefully acknowledged. Appreciation is also due to the Forestry Commission, especially the staff of the former Tummel District, for their co-operation and active assistance at Queen's View and for making it possible to visit sites in a number of other plantations. Miss Jean Comrie was present throughout operations at Queen's View except for the last year and, since she worked closely with Dr. Stewart, her clarification of doubtful points in the diary of activities and discoveries was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Similarly, Miss Lisbeth Thorns, Dundee Museum, who drew the major plan, offered crucial explanation on detail when the report was being compiled and thanks are also extended to her. Dr. John Bannerman provided salutary guidance on language questions raised in the last section of the report.

Mountain Scars A blight on our landscape Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland Annual Report 2017 - 2018 The eroded path or ‘scar’ up Carn Liath on Beinn a’Ghlo The combination of Scotland’s cold, wet windy weather, steep hillsides, friable soil and fragile vegetation cover makes the upland areas particularly susceptible to erosion from even a relatively small number of users.
