The area is redolent with the wilderness experience, this precious place is a major natural resource supporting large numbers of rare breeding birds, a flourishing carpet of complex raised bog, and open sweeping upland moor. Some of Britain's keynote wild animals live here. It is an area of great tranquillity that few people have seen.

Four Highland estate marches or boundaries can be seen from here, Gordonbush, Kildonan, Kintradwell, and Borrobol to the north. At the rise of hills known as the Monadliaths, or The Grey Hills, you can see Ben Armine beckoning at centre stage. The lone arrow shaped Smeorail to the east, halts repeated form of the Monadliaths, and to the north, shapely Morven stands.

On clear days at least 5 ridges can be seen into the distance, these deceptive, soft Sutherland hills combine to form a frozen open sea of upswept moor and peatland all around you. Hardly any obvious man-made industrial machines here - save the stretch and clutter of the terrible pylon line. What mind was working when there was no thought to put this underground? Such is the enormity of this intrusion alone.

An undulating heather carpet, short tufted heath mosaic, and a complexity of raised bog and lichen covers the deep peat. There is bog cotton, sundew, golden asphodel, sweet scented bog myrtle, vast tracts of purple moor grass, bronze deer grass, bearberry, soft sphagnum mosses, all dependent on the unique properties of the peatlands.

As the area is situated to the east, to see the sun setting to the west is an unforgettable experience that defies description. The clarity and quality of the air provides an unparalleled opportunity to hear the birds’ call, a stag's roar, a yelp or bark, but most of the time it will only be the wind talking to itself.
