Plants of Skye, Raasay & The Small Isles

Bill & Deirdre report Rorippa sylvestris (Creeping Yellow-cress) from a track off the Struan to Portree road. This is only the second Skye site though it is also known around Kinloch on Rum.

Steve has been back to Ben Suardal and found Cotoneaster integrifolius (Entire-leaved Cotoneaster) a pernicious invader in this and other parts of Skye.

Today I was up the top of the Storr with Bill & Deirdre.  Lots of excellent finds. Here is a taster of the scenery:
