Places to Visit for Wildlife and Landscape - Caithness
The Caithness Biodiversity Collection
Iain Sarjeant
Name: Loch Watenan and the Hill of Warehouse
Habitat type: Freshwater
What can I see there?
This area, rich in archaeological remains, is also a fine area for wildlife. Little grebe, tufted duck, pochard and wigeon can all be seen on Loch Watenan. Around the Hill of Warehouse a variety of small lochans, bogs and wet patches are influenced by the lime-rich rocks in the surrounding escarpment. These contain plants like carnation sedge and purging flax which only grow in ground with a high lime content.
