Kilminning Nature Reserve



The reserve occupies the space between the present shore and the top of the old raised beach, which forms a bank no more than 7.5m high. The slope is in places thickly clothed with blackthorn and bramble, shaped and pruned by the salt-laden winds, and often full of migrant birds when the wind is from the south-east in May or September-November. The rocks are covered by well over 100 different types of lichens and algae, some of which are rarities. This locality is one of the best for studying lichens along the whole of the south-east coast of Scotland.
