Hello, I am away this weekend staying in the Highlands. I am in between Oban and Fort William. I would like to try and see Large Heath as I have not seen them before and possibly Mountain Ringlet. I am looking for decent sites in this area and would appreciate any help offered.

Hope that you have a good weekend - just watch out for the midges!
re. Mountain Ringlet this may help you get started http://www.southwestscotland-butterflie ... 2013.shtml
If you can get a reply from Andrew Masterman in time he spends a lot of time in the Summer in Argyll etc. specifically studying MR & I'm sure that he could point you to a good Large Heath site in the area too.
The BC Reserve at Allt Mhuic is supposed to have LH.
Failing that if you are driving past Stirling you could easily pop onto the BC Reserve at Wester Moss, Fallin for LH.
