Calling the experts again
Spotted this huge carpet of flowers by dunnet bay carpark (opposite end from caravan park) and wondered what they were.

The pink version also occurs on the summits of several of the hills in northern Sutherland.
I have seen what I assume is the white version in a few spots along the north Sutherland coast, for example between Armadale and Strathy Point.
Despite having a guidebook, I find it hard to distinguish between some species. I would like to spend some time taking photos of them but on the coast it is invariably windy when I am there.
