Vastness of Space - The Bogs in Northern Scotland (+ Flow Country Travel Tips)

'A Vastness of Space' is a story about my trip to the Flow Country, a region of vast peatlands spanning Caithness and Sutherland. We travel through the area by car, by train, by bike and on foot, and learn about the fascinating ecology of a blanket bog. From its complex system of interlinked peat pools to a variety of birds and insects that call these moorlands their home.We also talk to Milly Revill-Hayward from the RSPB who - along with her colleagues - takes care of the Forsinard Flows Nature Reserve at the heart of the Flow Country.Visit our website to find the full show notes incl. the transcript, tips for a trip to the Flow Country and links to further reading about bogs.Check out my detailed travel guide for the Flow Country.Listen to our episode 'The Big Picture' to learn more about peat bog restoration.Find out how to support our show and unlock bonus content.Record a voice note to celebrate Wild for Scotland's anniversary! Head over to speakpipe.com/WildForScotland to leave a voice note of up to 90 seconds, and tell us what you’ve enjoyed about the show.
