For ease of use, the plants are grouped together by the type of habitat in which they can be found, including Highlands, Lowlands and Coasts.

The book includes a section with up-to-date details about places of interest and the best sites for finding some of the most attractive and special species of wild flowers in Scotland.

Excellent little guide book,
By
This review is from: Scottish Wild Flowers (Collins Guides) (Paperback)
One of the excellent Collins range of books on the flora and fauna of the British Isles (see also Valerie Thom's "Scottish Birds"), this identifies over 350 wild flowers found in Scotland. The author groups these into four distinctive habitats, recognising, however, that there can be some overspill. It's a well-illustrated little tome, convenient for the pocket or rucksack, listing places to visit and explore, and even offering you the Gaelic name for each of the specimens.Scotland is a wonderful country for walking - but Scott's guide demonstrates that walking is an exercise for the mind as well as the body. Take time to look around, to admire the plantlife. It's a life-affirming activity. Excellent little book.

Handy Field Guide,
By
This review is from: Collins Scottish Wild Flowers (Paperback)
A well written and informative guide, beautifully illustrated, small enough to carry on field trips.
I like the way it's grouped into habitats, and that it gives Latin, English and Gaelic names. There's a section on places to visit, with helpful info for planning a field trip.
