Rest Harrow

Common Restharrow is a low-growing, creeping plant with clusters of small pink flowers growing on very hairy stems.

The name Restharrow describes how the tough stems of this plant used to stop horse-drawn harrows in their tracks (plough-like implement with big teeth for breaking up clods in fields). This is the only widespread Scottish version of the Ononis species, though there are many varieties elsewhere. (Google)

The path that leads down to West Bay has hundreds of these pretty flowers growing on both sides of the path. The trouble is crouching down low enough to take a photo.
