Once, I sat by the Coe and watched a shaft of light come down through the trees, through leaves, and wondered if there was a greater beauty, or a simpler one. There are many great beauties. But all of them--from the snow, to his fern-red hair, to my mare's eye reflecting the sky as she smelt the air of Rannoch Moor-have light in them, and are worth it. They are worth the darker parts.” ― Susan Fletcher

Road Trip

It's thirsty work climbing sometimes. Me with my Irn Bru before Barrs spoiled the taste of it, this is on Meall a' Bhùiridh above Rannoch Moor, July 20th 2013, I seldom go anywhere without a Saltire, it was covering my legs to protect them from the sun.

The Beehive Cluster over the Great Herdsman, Glencoe.

Scotland's most famous mountain - Buachaille Etive Mòr is iconic for a reason. Viewed from the A82 road on the way past it looks incredible, and even more so if summited - with amazing views over the flat, vast Rannoch Moor that lies off to the East.

The Beehive Cluster is an open star cluster in the constellation Cancer. One of the nearest open clusters to Earth, it contains a larger population of stars than other nearby bright open clusters holding around 1,000 stars. Under dark skies, the Beehive Cluster looks like a small nebulous object to the naked eye, (a little fuzzy patch of light) and has been known since ancient times. It was among the first objects that Galileo studied with his telescope.

This looks quite beautiful and serene but I was well aware how dangerous the scene was. At this area there is a huge bog which had partially frozen in areas as the temperature dipped to a cool minus 7 celsius. In the pitch black with my feet sliding about next to water and rocks is always something that makes you work much slower and deliberately.

Rannoch Moor

I wake up feeling different, as though the best version of myself was on display. Strong. Content. Peaceful. Ready. Today I will cross Rannoch Moor. I had absolutely no idea what was ahead of me, but I’ve lived long enough now to recognize that special quality in the air when something magical lies in wait. I leave the Inveroran valley quickly as the West Highland Way trail climbs a small…

do you have advice on finding more info about wet upland moors? its the basis for my take on windclan but all the sources i find seem to focus on dry or lowland environments

ADVANCED research tip for finding information about unique biomes let's-a-go!

The way I get the information I need is by finding an area that IS the biome I want. So if I want to find Wet Upland Moor, well, I know immediately those are famously found in Scotland.

"Scotland moors" if that doesn't give me a good result, "Scottish moor park/preserve." Keep going until you get a name. I found Rannoch Moor.

I read into Rannoch Moor to check that it is the biome I'm looking for. Upland above the right altitude, very wet, yep! I understand what I'm looking for because of my basic research, so I can conclude this is an Upland Moor. Next I start looking for "Rannoch Moor Ecology."

Bingo! Tons of info comes up immediately. It helps that Rannoch is a huge and well-studied preserve, but this is how I was pointed in the direction of some of my specific models, like Bickerton Hill, the Dyfwrdwy, and the Black Moss of Delamere.

If you want to diversify, rinse and repeat. Find more areas within a geographic range you've determined has the biome you're looking for, and compare and contrast them.

I can't help you any further because my moorland model is Lowland Heath, the exact opposite of your chosen moorland, but if I were you I'd pay close attention to Rannoch's Special Area of Conservation status.

You can find a lot of really good info here. Why it's of significance, what sorts of plants and animals you will find here, descriptions of its landscape, etc

#Upland wet moor is often called 'blanket bog' which might be what is confusing you #Bone babble #Research #Bones gives advice
