Places to Visit for Wildlife and Landscape - Caithness

Name: Badbea

Habitat type: Coast

What can I see there?

Below the former crofting community of Badbea are fine examples of coastal plant communities. Grassy slopes and ledges support a variety of flowering plants including valerian, angelica, meadowsweet, sneezewort and primrose, together with patches of heath and bracken. The cliffs of east Caithness are also internationally important for the large number of breeding seabirds which nest there. Kittiwake, fulmar, guillemot and razorbill can all be seen, and at low tide grey and common seals haul themselves out onto the exposed rocks and beaches.
