The natural terrain in the Flow Country serves as a massive carbon reservoir, storing around 400 million tons of carbon - surpassing the total carbon storage in all of the UK's forests put together.
Known as blanket bog due to its widespread coverage over the landscape like a blanket, this habitat is a rarity worldwide but perfectly suited to Scotland's climate and coastal setting.
Peat bogs play a critical role in combating climate change by sequestering carbon and preventing its release as carbon dioxide.

The King was informed about how the peatlands function as a hub for advanced research and support a diverse array of flora and fauna.
Additionally, he was enlightened about the economic prospects and educational benefits that the area offers, allowing young individuals to connect with the natural world.
