Sow of Atholl, Scotland

A site in Scotland proposed by the Society as 'worthy of preservation', primarily for its insects. Today, this upland area of bog, heath and scree is safeguarded under a number of designations for its important wildlife, including as a Special Protection Area (SPA; European designation for birds) for its breeding populations of merlin and dotterel.
