A joint meeting with the Botanical Society of Scotland (BSS) and the Inverness Botany Group, which will be devoted to recording and appreciating the flora of this small town in Easter Ross and the immediately surrounding area. Information will go into BSBI records and the BSS Urban Flora of Scotland project. Muir of Ord is unusual in having several small lochans in or near the built up area as well as other typical urban habitats. The only recent record of Cerastium arvense (Field Mouse-ear) in E. Ross, formerly more common, is from here. We will also try to follow up old records for Carex acutiformis (Lesser Pond-sedge), as well as some typical urban flora. It is anticipated that the walks will be mainly on good paths, although there may be some rougher ground near the lochans. We expect to cover approximately 2-3 miles. Bookings and further information from Brian Ballinger.
