The Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands is a large area of blanket bog and peatland, covering a number of disconnected regions across the historic counties of Caithness and Sutherland in the far north of Scotland, across an area known as the Flow Country.
[2] The area includes a wide variety of vegetation, and supports a diverse range of breeding waterfowl, including internationally important populations of greylag goose and dunlin, and nationally important populations of ten other waterfowl species.
[3] Caithness and Sutherland Peatlands has been recognised as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention,[2] and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protection Area and a Special Area of Conservation.
[4][1][5] 154 km2 of the area is also designated as the Forsinard Flows national nature reserve.
