North of Edinburgh is a mix of farmland and hills high enough for skiing. We were lucky that the heather is blooming now. I always thought the heather on the hills of Scotland was some kind of exotic heather, but it appears to be identical to the heather we had in our yard in Seattle and the heather we have in our garden in Dunedin. Just nice purple heather. There's a lot of it (you can see it on the hills in the first photo and well as in many of the other photos), as is a tall purple flower called willow herb, which you'll see in the fourth photo with heather in the background.
