A SCOTTISH firm of architects and planners has invested in a peatland restoration project to offset its carbon footprint. Halliday Fraser Munro, which is headquartered in Aberdeen, says it is the first Scottish firm to invest in the Highland Carbon project in Wester Ross in the north of Scotland. This is a 341 hectare site of restored peatland and small lochs in Ross and Cromarty that is home to more than 60 species of birds, 100 plant types and 36 different species of fungi. “Some of the most iconic species in Scotland have been spotted here, including pine marten, otter, mountain hare, golden eagle and dippers that thrive in and on the river that runs through the site,” Highland Carbon adds.
