The route crosses exposed moorland and parts are uneven and often wet, enabling a huge variety of wildflowers to grow here.
July is the best month to observe these plants and their unique ecosystem including colourful insects. However, note that from April to July ground nesting birds use the machair, so please stay on the paths. Keep dogs under control at all times.
