I've only ever made it halfway up Ben Lawers (after Mountain Ringlets not plants) but still saw many new plant species. Glad (in a way) to learn that the visitor centre has been demolished, I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't find it last time I was there - figured senility had finally struck!

I doubt I will ever in my life have a chance to see these things, so thank you for the exquisite photos and the commentary.

I believe the car park is in a different place too, There are no facilities at all anymore.Just a few interpretation boards. Which is good in many ways.Karen Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433932165517479993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276339820228650895.post-69393817492809134832017-02-19T22:21:32.971+00:002017-02-19T22:21:32.971+00:00Karen, this has bought a great many Ben Lawers mem...Karen, this has bought a great many Ben Lawers memories flooding back. Is the car park by the visitor centre still open? I believe there was talk of closing it.Steve Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459545933323958452noreply@blogger.com
