Reason Statue Bellwood Heather Collection Riverside Park Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video of the Reason statue by the Bellwood Heather Collection in Riverside Park on visit to Perth, Perthshire. Riverside Park sits on the left bank across the river from Tay Street in Perth. This collection promises to deliver an eternal display of colour, structure and form throughout the year. Calluna vulgaris, known as common heather, ling, or simply heather, is the sole species in the genus Calluna in the flowering plant family Ericaceae. It is a low growing perennial shrub growing normally from 20 to 50 centimetres tall, and is found widely in Europe and Asia Minor on acidic soils in open sunny situations and in moderate shade. It is the dominant plant in most heathland and moorland in Europe, and in some bog vegetation and acidic pine and oak woodland. Heather predominates over great swathes of Scottish Highland landscapes in the north and west.
