Muirburn

Muirburn is the patchwork of heather resulting from the practice of controlled burning of the heather to create swathes of heathers of different ages. The burning encourages new growth which is an essential food for the grouse and provides cover for nesting. Burning is done under strict controls and on a rotational basis. Hill sheep also benefit from the burning.

In Yorkshire an area of burnt heather is called a 'swidden' or 'swizzen'.
