The plants were growing in closely grazed pasture on the cliff tops. The cliffs are about 30m high and, in this case north facing. Primula scotica is locally abundant at Yesnaby and we found these plants growing in association with Grass of Parnassus.

We found the Primula at a location known as Hill of Borwick and is just to the north of the car park at Yesnaby. The picture is looking down into the Bor Wick.

Hi David
when I was at Yesnaby last it was spring and the grass was full of spring squills in flower - a wonderful spot, if only it were closer!
