Dance Information
Ben Lawers is one of the highest mountains in the southern part of the Scottish Highlands.It lies to the north side of Loch Tay, and is the highest point of a long ridge that includes seven Munros.
Purple Saxifrage is one of the plants which grows on Ben Lawers mountain. True to its Latin name (Saxifraga means rock-breaker) this plant occupies barren, exposed rock; damp crevices in cliffs; and moist, calcium-rich gravel in arctic and alpine environments. Ben Lawers is one of the few places in Britain where such plants grow.
