Corrie Fee, Glacial cirque and National Nature Reserve in Angus, Scotland
Description
Corrie Fee is a glacial cirque and nature reserve in the Scottish Highlands with steep rock walls that form a natural amphitheater. The area contains multiple walking paths of varying difficulty and holds diverse mountain habitats across different elevations.
History
The landscape was carved during the last ice age through intense glacial erosion that shaped the current rock walls and valleys. This glacial activity created the characteristic U-shaped depression that defines the valley today.
Culture
This place has long drawn naturalists and researchers interested in rare mountain plants and ecological study. Today, walkers move through habitats that continue to hold meaning for scientific understanding and conservation efforts.
Practical
Access starts at the Glen Doll visitor center, from which several well-marked paths lead in different difficulty levels. The area is open year-round, but winter conditions are demanding and hikers should expect sudden weather changes.
Did you know?
The area supports Scotland's largest montane willow scrub and is one of few places where the rare purple colt's-foot plant grows. This species is found nowhere else in Britain, making the location scientifically valuable.
