A' Mhòine, Heath in Highland, Scotland.
A' Mhòine is a heath on a peninsula in the Scottish Highlands with two Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The landscape features blanket bogs, pools of water, and diverse geological formations throughout the area.
The A838 road was built starting in 1830 to connect remote communities through the northern Highlands. This connection enabled easier travel through what had been a difficult landscape to traverse.
The name A' Mhòine comes from Scottish Gaelic and refers to moss or peat in the local language. This reflects the boggy character that defines the landscape.
This location requires weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy gear, as conditions change rapidly in this northern Highland area. Visitors should be prepared for changeable weather and uneven terrain throughout their time here.
The Highland Council approved plans for the United Kingdom's first spaceport at this location. The facility can conduct up to twelve launches annually from this remote site.
