Page 1 of 6 Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan Main Issues Report Local Nature Conservation review sites Sites 1 to 20 Below is a detailed summary of the interest of each proposed Local Nature Conservation Site. It should be noted that in addition to their own individual interests, these sites contribute to a network of sites supporting habitats and species throughout Aberdeenshire. 1. Aberdour to Kinnaird Head Coast The western part of this coastline contains areas of high seacliff with sandy bays while to the east, between Rosehearty and Fraserburgh, is an area of relatively low lying coastline with a wave cut platform, rocky shores and areas of intertidal mud and sand flats. The site is backed in places by a narrow fringe of sand dune or salt marsh. This coastline is important for passage and wintering seaduck and waders and is of particular importance are the wave cut platform and kelp beds. The fields up to 1km inland from the coast are also important for wintering and feeding birds. Sections of the coast are botanicaly rich and the site supports some rare molluscs. Geological interest is present in the form of exposures of Old Red Sandstone, metamorphic rocks and other features. 2. Annies Dam This site contains an area of wet ground created by a dam. Habitats present include birch woodland, wet woodland, rush pasture and acid grassland. The site supports a good diversity of plant species including some locally uncommon sedges. 3. Arbuthnott This site lies along the Bervie Water and supports valuable semi-natural woodland and riparian habitats. A good diversity of woodland and wetland plants are present with locally important species such as blue water-speedwell. 4. Arnhall Moss A relatively small site within Westhill with a variety of habitats including birch woodland and scrub together with a small area of swamp. For its size, the site has a good diversity of plants. The site is very popular with local residents and is used by local schools for educational visits. 5. Auchlossan This site is made up of arable and pasture farmland on land which was formerly a loch. Patches of swamp and rush pasture remain, together with a few fairly permanent ponds. The site is important in winter for feeding and roosting birds with large numbers of pink- footed geese, gulls, mallard, teal and wigeon, together with smaller numbers of snipe and lapwing. The site also supports a number of breeding wading birds. 6. Barmekin Wood A relatively large site with a good mosaic of habitats including heathland, rush pasture and birch woodland. These habitats have a good diversity of plants including some locally rare species such as mossy stonecrop and smooth-stalked sedge. 7. Benholm The Burn of Benholm is an important geological site and is of outstanding importance for establishing the sequence of glacial events, ice movement patterns and environmental

Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan Main Issues Report Local Nature Conservation review sites Sites 1 to 20 Below is a detailed summary of the interest of each proposed Local Nature Conservation Site.

changes that occurred in north-east Scotland during the Late Quaternary. The narrow den supports and attractive area of lowland woodland with a typical woodland ground flora which is slightly more base rich than other woodlands in the area. 8. Bennachie This extensive site covers a mixture of associated upland and lowland habitats. On the lower slopes semi-natural and long established woodland are present together with planted forests, some of which are pine. Of particular note are the oak woodlands at Paradise Wood and Tillifoure. The upper slopes of Bennachie and surrounding hills are dominated by dry heathland with small patches of wet heath and mire. Geological interest is present in the exposed outcrops of granite on the peaks of Bennachie and the deeply weathered granite in a quarry at the foot of Bennachie. 9. Bin Hill Bin Hill forms a large area which is of geological interest due to the presence of a major complex of igneous rocks, together with an area of ‘contaminated rock’ acting as an independent intrusion. Although primarily a site of geological interest, there are botanically rich areas at the Burn of Carnie and parts of Bin Forest which contain locally important pine woodland species. 10. Blackdog to Bridge of Don Coast This is an extensive coastal site made up of coastal sand dunes, grassland, wet and dry heathland, gorse scrub and small patches of planted woodland. These varied habitats contain a diverse range of plant and invertebrate species. The site is of significant ornithological interest with large numbers of sea ducks offshore in the winter and breeding birds within the dunes and grassland. Large numbers of roosting and feeding birds periodically use agricultural fields adjacent to the LNCS. 11. Breda Hill Breda Hill has been identified as one of very few remnants of Caledonian pine forest within Aberdeenshire. Although small this site represents an important area of pine woodland habitat. Dry heathland and upland birch woodland are also present. This site supports a good diversity of moorland and woodland plant and bird species. 12. Burreldale Moss Burreldale Moss contains a variety of wet habitats including fen, bog, lowland raised bog, rush pasture and swamp. On the drier ground around the margins woodland, dry heath and acid grassland occur. Many of these habitats are relatively natural with a rich diversity of plants including some rare in north east Scotland such as rigid hornwort and whorled caraway. 13. Cairnbulg to St Combs Coast This stretch of coastline is of particular importance for its geology with good examples of rock exposures along the shore and a raised beach/ fossil cliff/sand dune complex. The raised beach and fossil cliff assemblage is one of the north-easternmost occurrences of such a landform in the UK, and forms part of a wider range of raised shorelines which reflects patterns of former glacial ice thickness variation across Scotland. The coast is important for breeding, overwintering and feeding birds. 14. Cairnhill, Culsalmond This site is made up of a disused quarry together with adjacent habitats. The quarry is of geological value as it contains a good exposure of metamorphic rock. The surrounding

land supports a mosaic of wet and heathland habitats including fen, rush pasture, wet woodland and acid grassland which together contain a good diversity of plants. 15. Candyglirach An extensive area of lowland raised bog, with areas of birch, conifer and wet woodland, acid grassland and rush pasture around the margins. Within these habitat is a good diversity of wetland, heathland and woodland plants. The site is also good for insects such as the locally important small pearl bordered fritillary. 16. Carnie Woods A relatively small site supporting a variety of habitats including pine forest, conifer plantation, semi-natural woodland, scrub, acid grassland, heathland and a small area of valley mire. The woodland is locally important for red squirrel populations and the various habitats have a good diversity of wetland and heathland plants. The site is well used for informal recreation and provides an important linkage between Westhill and the surrounding countryside. 17. Catterline Den Catterline Den is a very narrow, steep-sided, rocky, meltwater gorge with mature beech woodland and gorse scrub in the southern part of the den. Although small, this site is important for two locally uncommon plant species, brittle bladder fern and wood vetch. 18. Cluny This site is relatively small but it contains a diverse mix of wetland habitats including some very good areas of wet woodland together with open water, fen and swamp. These habitats have a good variety of woodland and wetland plants, including a large population of common skullcap which is rare in the north east Scotland. 19. Corby, Bishops and Lily Lochs This site lies over the boundary of Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City and is made up of open water together with associated wetland and woodland habitats. The site has a very rich botanical flora and supports a good variety of invertebrates. The lochs are important for breeding, roosting and feeding birds. 20. Correen Hills This is an extensive upland site with dry heathland on the higher ground and some rich semi-natural oak and birch woodland on the lower slopes. This site is noted in particular for its ornithological interest with a good assemblage of upland breeding birds. A large breeding colony of Common Gulls has now been mostly abandoned
