Where snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) grow in the "wild" i.e. not in a garden - usually on a roadside verge- they should be recorded in the National Biodiversity Database. At present there is no record for the Ordnance Survey 10km squares ND26(Dunnet) , ND36(Keiss/Freswick) ,or ND37(John o'Groats). Do you know of any ?
We spotted masses of wild snowdrops on Sunday along the road between the A836 Castletown, through Greenland, Lyth, Sortat, Howe and the A99. This road runs parallel with the B876 and there are many clumps of snowdrops in flower.

Thanks for your information. I will make sure it gets onto the National Biodiversity Network.
I found a lot around Sibster and Lower Sibster farms (ND310532), also
We still need more. Any round Halkirk?

there were snowdrops all the way up the newly renovated Wick River path. Obviously dying back now.
