A Patch of Sweet Violets

Just above the beach at the foot of the Massney Braes in Lundin Links growing amongst the leaf-litter and tangled vegetation there is a patch of the palest pink almost white sweet violets (Viola odorata). They are the first violets of the spring.

Flowers by the Path

On the walk to the lighthouse there were numerous clumps of primroses and bluebells.

 There were also some violets, celandines almost past flowering and wild garlic just coming out.

On the upper shore by the lighthouse there were masses of scurvy grass (Cochlearia sp.)

Cardamine pratensis (Cuckoo Flower or Lady's Smock)
At the end of the walk at thefar end of Tobermory Main Street there was a mass of these pretty pink flowers.

Frost!!

 The first hard frosts of the winter making patterns on violet and teasel leaves.
